We recently added Rock Band 2 to our Wii collection. Dennis Goff is partially to blame, although he doesn't know it.
In Rock Band, the notes move toward you as you plunk them out on a (toy) guitar or drums (drum pads). (See http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/885/885168/rock-band-2 -tba-20080629094115965_640w.jpg for a picture of what the screen looks like.) My partner was first to notice the illusion. After playing a song, she looked at the wall, and said, "The wall looks like it's moving!" Sure enough. Rock Band produces a wonderful waterfall illusion. If you don't have Rock Band, you can experience the illusion here: http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_adapt/index.html -- Sue Frantz <http://flightline.highline.edu/sfrantz/> Highline Community College Psychology, Coordinator Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology, Associate Director Project Syllabus <http://teachpsych.org/otrp/syllabi/syllabi.php> APA Division 2: Society for the Teaching of Psychology <http://teachpsych.org/otrp/syllabi/syllabi.php> APA's p...@cc Committee <http://www.apa.org/ed/pcue/ptatcchome.html> --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
