Invisible until it moves

Interesting visual effect where objects animated on a random field of black and white pixels are only visible when they are moving. Still images just look like random noise. Maybe this is how animals with highly motion based vision experience the world?

A game called Lost in the Static uses a very similar effect: https://silverspaceship.com/static/ Lost in the Static dev Sean Howard wrote a blog entry on how it works.

The graphics for the youtube video were generated by a simple Win32/C++ app at https://github.com/ChrisBLong/POV
