    He shoots so quickly that an illusion is created

    Why do I doubt my eyesight? In the past, Tenz played the Aimtrainer Aimlabs again and again. This kind of “game” is intended to help players to aim better with the mouse. There are different exercises in which different goals such as balls are shot. Depending on the exercise, precision, speed or tracking should be increased.

    A 4 -year -old clip of Tenz, in which he plays Aimlabs, collected 1.8 million views over the years. I recently looked at this clip and found that it destroyed the goals so quickly that it creates a kind of optical illusion.

    What is that optical deception? To explain this optical deception, I have to take a small test with you. Take a look at the clip in the YouTube video and tell me:

    Up to how many balls are displayed on the screen at the same time?

    The correct answer is 3. If you saw 4-6 balls, it was probably something like an optical illusion.

    Tenz plays the exercise “Gridshot Ultimate” in the clip, in which a maximum of 3 balls are always mapped. As soon as a ball is shot, a new one appears in another place. If you pause the video or let it run at a low playback speed, it can also be seen that there are always only 3 balls.

    In the run-up to Article I asked 5 different people how many balls they see-all with different hardware, gaming preferences and different ages. Each of them admitted to see 4 balls or more. Also in the comments below the video, several users noted that they sometimes see 5 balls, although they know that there are a maximum of 3 in the exercise.

    I suspect that the speed creates a kind of “ghosting” and for a short time the balls that have already been shot are visible.

    If you wonder about Tenz’s clip whether Aimlabs really improve your AIM, I can answer this question with my personal assessment. I trained every day for several months in a row and watched it closely whether I actually get better: I played an aim trainer for 100 hours to get better in shooters – but did it really work?
