My books in my bookshelf were 'breathing'. (expanding right and left).

Cool!

Goes to show you can't always trust what you're seeing.

Whoa!

What an effect -- I don't think the T&C will allow me to say what that visual looks just like.

Thanks for tripping me out.

I also got twisty effects on the page around the vid player near the end. T'was like it was wrinkling.

What was so odd, was that one has an 'hallucination' but there's no sense of anything wrong or different. IOW, your eyes aren't searching or rolling, reality just starts warping. No dizziness or anything.

Must be even stranger full screen in the dark.

I swear I used to pay money for a similar effect - for the life of my I can't remember the specifics.

Oh man... that was weird. What a trip!

This is the same effect when you have vertigo.
