That won't work in sunlight for example. You need a flashing light source like a fluorescent tube. It's the Nyquist frequency of the light source that causes the aliasing, not of your eyes, unless you try it while blinking rapidly. The wagon wheels in western movies appear to turn backwards when the spokes are moving faster than the frame rate of the movie.
