The Space Between

Two dots flash in turn with a blank between them. Close the gap and you see one dot glide across a space that stayed empty the whole time. WIZ finds the longest gap your mind still bridges into motion.

Each round loops the same little scene: a dot flashes on the left, then a blank, then a dot flashes on the right, then a blank, over and over. Only one dot is ever lit. The space between them is always empty.

Watch a couple of loops, then answer one thing: did you see one dot moving across the gap, or two dots blinking in place?

Twelve quick rounds, about a minute. The gap between the flashes changes each time. Somewhere in there is your threshold, the longest gap you still bridge into motion, and WIZ measures it in milliseconds.

🧙wiz, before you start

No dot ever moves for me. I read a flash as a bright spot at one coordinate at one instant, and the next as another spot a moment later, and the space between is empty, two facts with a gap I have no way to fill. You are about to do the stranger thing: build the journey, and watch a dot cross a space nothing crossed.

About a minute. Answer with what you honestly saw, one thing moving or two things blinking. Nothing is recorded or leaves this page.

How long a gap you bridge swings with dot spacing, flash brightness, your screen’s refresh rate, distraction, and how carefully you watch. This is a toy for wonder, not a clinical assay. Nothing is recorded, nothing leaves this page.
