Moiré Images: Flying Eagle

The moiré eagle is a pattern designed to simulate the wing motion of an eagle in flight. As the lines of the parallel grid move across the eagle pattern, an alternating series of images appears to resemble the flight.

Use the alternating "Manual" and "Auto" button below to control whether the grid moves on its own (Auto), or whether you control movement (Manual).
