So, didn't really pay attention to the article, but wow, that spinning mask[0] in interesting!

Somehow, the effect doesn't work looking at only the forehead[1] which I would have assumed means because my brain doesn't recognize it as a "face". However, the effect does work for me still only looking at the neck[2] which I can't explain other than something with the shading?

Cool stuff!
