The second being this one:

Think of an Apple In Your Head / Apple Visualization Exercise | Know Your Meme

Aphantasia is a phenomenon in which people aren't able to visualise imagery.

Through conversations with my business partner CJ, and my mother I realised that they both have Aphantasia. With this information in mind, and having access to a beautiful Brahman cow model, I decided to create a simulator so Aphantasiacs could spin a cow, and for people all along the scale could visualise what others can see in their mind's eye based on the crude aphantasia apple scale that was going around the internet.

How to play:

left click the mouse to rotate the cow.

drag the slider along the Aphantasia scale! to watch the cow move from a vivid image to a more distorted and vague image.

right click to rotate the light around the cow!

Press 'K' to Cycle through animations.
