We studied whether visual completion can be produced within three-dimensional (3-D), moving, chromatic objects. Rotating thin and thick discs with red sectors, forming the corners of Kanizsa triangle, were presented on a display. Observers also rotated a hand-held real thin Kanizsa triangle. An illusory, moving contour encompassing an illusory colourful triangle was generally observed. This indicates that the visual system is capable of filling in complex (3-D, moving, chromatic) percepts.
