Present & Tree Animated Optical Illusion

Animation 6 January 2014 0 Comments

This animated GIF optical illusion features an infinite loop of a red present with green ribbon under a Christmas tree. As such, you could consider it the GIF that keeps on giving. Watching this animation can be somewhat mesmerizing as it continually zooms out to reveal the exact same scene over and over again. This type of effect is known as a Droste Effect, which is a recursive image where seemingly never-ending smaller versions of an image appears within the image itself.
