Pixel Drift
The edges of perception: where pixels start to leak.
🧐 What do you see?▼
Look at the center of the grid. While the center looks stable, theedges of the grid often appear todrift, wiggle, or expand. If you shift your eyes rapidly, the whole grid might seem to "jerk" in the opposite direction.
🧠 Why this works▼
This is related to Peripheral Instability. Our peripheral vision is optimized for motion detection, not detail. Because the high-frequency checkers "overload" the edge-detection circuits, the brain occasionally misattributes the "shimmer" as actual movement.
🧪 Try variations▼
Increase the Intensity to add a subtle "tilt" to the individual pixels. This breaks the grid's mathematical perfection and greatly enhances the drifting sensation.
