Floating Rings
(color - seeing color)

This exhibit creates a very convincing illusion in which three brightly polished rings seem to roll around in marvelous synchronization, like coins spinning on a tabletop, with their edges always managing to meet perfectly as they turn. A push button will stop the rings' rotation temporarily.
