We've all seen countless disappearing dot illusions on the internet, and they're all cool. But for some reason I found this one to be REALLY cool.
Stare at the center till the dots become green, then keep staring and see what happens.

It's an animated gif not an optical illusion.

I wouldn't care if one would pop out. I've done stuff like that even when I know something will pop out. None of you like a good healthy scare?

optical illusion
n an optical phenomenon that results in a false or deceptive visual impression
Now you are correct, it is an animated gif. However, if you look at it right, the purple dots seem to disappear. They don't actually disappear. Its "decieving" your eyes. Its an ILLUSION of an OPTICAL nature.

It erases the dots so its like you see nothing, then the dots go back.

Ah, I wasn't looking at it right, I thought you were just showing us a fake optical illusion. I looked again, you have to go kind of cross eyed, and they do look like the disappear. Pretty cool.

its also pretty cool how the missing dot goes green, almost automatic for me.. even though it doesnt ever change colors

When I stare at it all I see is a stupid green dot moving in circles.

You have to focus on the centre. I did, and all the dots disappeared. I was half expecting another thing to pop up and scare me.

I did focus on the center. I guess it just doesn't work for me.
