  • Possible improvements:

    1) Motorize the carousel to maintain constant speed.

    2) Remove the real-world reference for the people, by enclosing all of the rotating parts in a room or box that rotates along with the the people. (In other words, rotate a room with two people in it.)

    (Or, make the non-rotating room and its lighting rotationally symmetrical and pain the walls one uniform shade. Minimize lighting of the walls so that non-uniformity will not be noticed.)

  • This looks like it could be the best game show in the world.
