    @retech honestly I don't think this has anything to do with pov or frames or the brain's ability to see continuous motion at all. it's way more about contrast. you can't see the motion in low contrast areas much, but it's very obvious in high contrast areas. since those are opposite in the dark and light buss, they seem to be stepping forward alternately.

    @bit101 =) I just happened to ask the correct teacher the right question when I was a boy. The colour ones that rely on that to fool the eye are ineffectual on me most times. And this one, if you tilt your screen so that your eyes are perpendicular but the screen is at a very obtuse angle and you are looking at the skewed plane... well this one sort of does not work any longer since you can see them grouped together in a very tight space.
