Description: This illusion creates the perception of 3D motion in a still by subtly shifting the edges or contours. These directed image tweaks create the sensation of movement without anything actually moving. We enhance the illusion by adding depth information generated by AI, which alters how fast each section of the image moves depending on how far it is. This transforms a flat image into a lively, three-dimensional one. With just a change in a few variables, you can control the speed and direction of the illusion. It’s an example of motion without anything actually moving.
