Optical Illusion. Shifting Dots

Here’s an incredible optical illusion. You’ll need to wait few seconds before the .gif file fully loads, but when it does I promise you’ll love it! Once the animation has started, you’ll quickly notice how outer-rim dots begin shifting themselves up and down. But what is so cool here, is that this is actually an illusion! Our little dots haven’t changed their starting position one bit! The only thing changing here is their color; from white to black and vice-versa!

3D Chalk God Blows Up in China by Mr. Hou

Mr. Hou didn’t expect to become an internet sensation after he uploaded some photos of his 3D chalk art pieces onto a Chinese forum a few weeks ago. After all, he’s just an average Chinese citizen who enjoys drawing for his little boy. Now, people from all over the web are referring to him by a new nickname – “Chalk God.”

“I think these 3D artworks actually aren’t that rare/surprising, but the idea is very key, and only with the idea can you move people,” says Mr. Hou. “For example, I once went to a tourist sight/attraction, and there was a sculpture at this intersection. Below the sculpture, on all four sides, were a bunch of advertisements for counterfeit official documents. I felt this was so representative of China today, so I started drawing, never expecting to become so popular.”

Does Your Brain Prefer, Vertical or Horizontal?

Peter Tse , from Dartmouth College (USA) has get anether nice view for the classic afterimage optical illusion. If you haven’t encountered afterimage illusions before, I strongly recommend visiting Ilusiones opticas. So why is this illusion different? By using it, you can reveal if your brain predominantly sees horizontal or vertical lines! To begin, you’ll need to fixate the colored image (one on your left) by looking at the fixation spot for about 60 seconds. Now shift your eyes to the fixation spot surrounded by rectangular outlines. Which afterimage did you see first? You can manually shift which afterimage you experience by attending to one rectangle and then the other. If you attend to the vertical outline rectangle you will see the afterimage corresponding to it, and if you attend to the horizontal outline rectangle you will see the different afterimage corresponding to it. Now wasn’t this great?!

Illusion with Shadow Letters

To see the genius of Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens, the lighting is very important, as demostrated  too Francis Tabary . That’s because Eerdekens’ work relies on the shadows cast by sculptures — which are made of bent wires in this example — to unveil the hidden message to the viewer. Can you read all of the Eerdekens messages? What do they say?

 

 

 

 

Reflection in the lake.

Robert Towe took this optical illusion picture a couple of years ago and titled it Spirit of The Woods and Water. The photo surely needs no additional explaining!

Motion silences awareness of hue changes

A study by Harvard psychologist documented a type of optical illusion in which motion visual perception of changes to mute. To understand this, we start with the following video:
As you saw when the circle to laterally move begins to seem change colors points to leave or change to a lesser extent. In the video below and the visual laboratory at Harvard University (silencing) here you can see how the illusion also repeats when you change the brightness, size or shape of small objects.

As the authors explain the illusion occurs although we aware, we can not avoid to perceive change, if the general framework to move:

“Silencing”, say the researchers, “underlines the close relationship between the movement and the representation of the object.” “Amending simple coordination Retinotópica, move the object or the eyes, is possible, to exercise articles which were first clearly dynamic appear caused the Visual change suddenly static silence.”
