Abstract

The probability of shaping the development of zoetrope in the wagon-wheel effect (WWE) phenomenon, shaping the performance of Barberpole illusion (BPI) on a triangular prism, pentagonal prism, heptagonal prism, and cylinder in the WWE was studied by experimentation. The shaping performance of a cylinder in the WWE has such phenomena as “clockwise and anticlockwise rotation” of the cylinder, “downward movement of line and upward movement of line” of the lines on the cylinder, “line afterimage phenomenon” of the lines on the cylinder, and failure in discrimination (no rotation or line movement phenomenon). 18 students participated in the study. The experimental results show that (1) the number of prism edges (excluding cylinder) and the number of failed discriminations increased by alternating rotations. The cylinder had the most prolonged flicker effect regarding clockwise or anticlockwise rotation performance. It was the last one having the clockwise-anticlockwise alternation compared with the other prisms. (2) All prisms have about the same number of downward and upward lines alternations. Regarding the number of alternations, the cylinder was the first to change from downward to the upward movement of lines, and the triangular prism was the last one. (3) The cylinder had the most prolonged downward movement of lines, while all the prisms were coincident in presenting the upward movement of lines. The number of prism edges positively influenced the number of failures in discriminations. (4) Different viewing distances had the same performance in the WWE of a cylinder.
