Visual Effects

[Michael Gochfeld]

This visual replay is pretty interesting.  When I get off a boat after several
hours at sea, I continue to see the wave movement superimposed on anything I
look at below eye level.  When I first step on the dock this replay is enough to
offset my balance.  But the effect fades within about 10 minutes, whereas the
butterfly replay that others report last for hours.  We need to find a way to
package that.  I presume that it is not an unpleasant sensation.
