It looks like the walls are melting...uh oh..?!


Question: When I play guitar hero for 30 minutes or more, and am staring at the notes moving toward me, if I stop the game and look at the walls in my basement, it looks like they are melting. This will last for a couple of minutes and it's kind of scary. Do you think this is some kind of sensory problem...sort of like getting dizzy? I'm not worried enough about it to see a doctor, but it is very very weird.

Most often, the experience you're having is related to an optical illusion-type phenomenon. If your brain gets too focused on the perception of movement in depth (the way you travel through the game in guitar hero) it will continue for a little while after you've stopped playing the game.

Our vision can play all kinds of tricks on us. Check this optical illusion out

Good luck and keep hitting those high notes

Its an optical illusion. Sometimes they set it up in children's science museums where you stare at a moving pattern for 30 seconds or so, and then look down a stairway or hallway. The walls will appear to move for a few seconds.
