You'll have seen clock displays that flicker when you turn your head, and indicator LEDs that maybe use 50/60Hz AC and which also appear to make a dotted line (persistence of vision again), so the effect is there. However, with the LEDs moving, everyone present will be seeing the same thing, head moving or not -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
