Optical Illusions!!!

[cancer10]

If you watch the images from your seat in front
of the computer, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calm
is on the right.

Get up from your seat, and move back 12 feet,
and PRESTO!! they switch places!!

I believe this illusion was created by Phillippe
G.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the Univ. of Glasgow.

This proves that we may not be seeing what's actually
there, all the time!!

Wow. It works. IT really works. Can anybody tell me how it works. I want to make some illussions. Which software shld i use?

[navjotjsingh]

Excellent Illusion. Though my room is not as big to move back 12 feet but even from a few feet's distance effect was visible.

[cancer10]

I told u :)

[alib_i]

Freakking awesome !

you dont need to go 12 feet back .. just some 3-4 feet shifting would do.

[rajat22]

Wow wow wow wow, Thats excellent. Keep on feeding :lol:

[cancer10]

Thanx

[nix]

wow...toooooo cool, great find!! both the illusions are good.

[Milkshake]

Awasome
both were awasome

[shwetanshu]

only the circle we fix our eyes upon is not moving, all others move. simply awesome

[Ashis]

Both were great work.....although the circle things were posted earlier in another thread!

But the faces were awesome!

[Chirag]

Yes there was a thread in which many means many illussions were there. I tried to find it but failed. Can any give the link here if he finds it?

[SWEET SNEHA]

The cirlce one was awasome.

I dunno how does it fool our brain but it works.

[anandk]

amazing...........

[bala4digit]

circle one is easy is easy to guess.....already said dat...da circle in which v r viewin it strait won't move..[also den only any of da circles will move]..as our eye balls are spherical...da image [side circles]reflected on our sides of the eyeball tends to be half...in semi-half.....nd hens its a concentric circles...all da circles...can't adjust in our image in da eyeball.....ok.....u must be confused...but i can giv u a complete scientific explaination 4 dat....but will take a 3 pgs here......BTW iam a Pharmacy student....wait.....lemme refer...yes....pharmacy student...!!

1 more thing see the circle with ur eyes opened as wide as possible.....no circle is gonna move!!...i.e try to c all da circles...niothing gonna move...!!

but researchin on da 1st 1.....!!!

BYE!!!!

----------------MOJOJOJO----------------

[alib_i]

There was a thread on Optical Illusions long back .. cant find it now.

OK another good one...

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky! It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

[harsh bajpai]

@alibi
coolest one yet. had never seen it before.
they do disappear.

[Biplav]

@ali_b:
real cool too good/
but for some reason the 1st illusion didnt happen for me. dont knw y.

[Vishal Gupta]

I too faced problems in the 1st illusion!

May be bcoz of I'm using Samsung SyncMaster?

But it worked a little bit when I tried to see the illusion by moving up and down as needed :D

[tarey_g]

alib_i that one was a cool find , amazing one man

[shoegoe]

Taking about optical illusions?
U have no idea about the illusions in this website. Its almost unique. Visit http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ and u'll see

[netarget]

I don't remember from where i got this. Still, it is worth sharing. So here goes.

more to come....[/img]

[desertwind]

Whats with the first image ?

Second one is good.

[alib_i]

Both arent illusions ..
1st one has world map on the cow's skin
2nd .. is a mind trick .. not an illusion

but good pics anyway

-----
alibi

[desertwind]

thanx alib_i, didnt noticed the world map.

[mehulved]

Great. ones. I specially loved the second illusion on page 1.

[netarget]

But alib_i, what is the difference between Mind trick and illusion. I believe, the illusion tricks your mind to see something or not to see something. Thus all illusions are mind tricks but not vise versa. Any way, as i said, here are some more from my old collections:

[cancer10]

Seems this thread is slowly converting to an Illusion thread :(

[alib_i]

In an illusion, your eyes plays tricks with you. What you see may not be real. A cow with a (photoshopped) world map doesnt seem to fall in the category .. anyways .. no problem .. no big deal
keep posting ...

Another good illusion I know ..
This illusion was first posted by NikhilVerma ,a very old member of this forum, in a (now deleted) thread
(I still have it's imageshack bbcode from back then, hehe)
It's the best illusion I've seen in my life

[mehulved]

Hey can u explain me this. It went as a bouncer to me.

[NikhilVerma]

It's very simple....

Just compare the two squares A and B... they are both filled with the EXACT same colour... Even though A appears darker than B...

[mehulved]

This is a real tricky one. This is the only one that I've really failed to understand. Can you explain it in layman's terms how this happens. Got me completely confused.

[alib_i]

Remove other things from the pic and and you'll see that both are actually same ...
This edited image will make it clear ...

[mehulved]

thanks nikhil and alib_i for ur kind explainations. But, what I want to know is what is the exact phenomenon that causes it. If anyone can explain it in layman's terms as I'm not a science student. I love to understand how all this works.

[desertwind]

Explanation
In shadow or not, a check that is lighter than its neighboring checks is probably lighter than average, and vice versa. In the figure, the light check in shadow is surrounded by darker checks. Thus, even though the check is physically dark, it is light when compared to its neighbors. The dark checks outside the shadow, conversely, are surrounded by lighter checks, so they look dark by comparison.

Read Full explanation here (http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/checkershadow_description.html)

Proof
http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/images/checkershadow/checkershadow_double_med.jpg


By joining the squares marked A and B with two vertical stripes of the same shade of gray, it becomes apparent that both squares are the same.

[mehulved]

Thanks desertwind.

[~Phenom~]

great illusions there, specially first one.
can anyone explain the reason for these illusions...

[desertwind]

from close-up, your eye and brain's feature detectors are mostly registering high-frequency information in the picture; from far away you can't see that at all so you use the low frequencies instead. So you can make an ambiguous image like this just by superimposing images made with different Photoshop filters.

[Sparsh007]

[mehulved]

There was a nice big thread on Optical Illusions here. I'll see if it still exists. It had some amazing ones + a couple of links.
__________
OK threads merged, for those who missed the earlier one.

[rakeshishere]

Are there any s/w to make these illusions..If there is plz post it

[abhishek_734]

i hav a test which you will not be able to pass...
read on..

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST


Count every " F " in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)




HOW MANY ?



















WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.


The reasoning behind is further down.








The brain cannot process "OF".




Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!



Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.


Three is normal, four is quite rare.

[mehulved]

I got 5 F's right. Missed the last OF.

[sysfilez]

mr happy n mr angry really scare me off.

[Vishal Gupta]

Did I miss something? :confused:

I read all 6F's in the first go :D

[abhishek_734]

then u r genius

[Vishal Gupta]

:rolleyes: :wink: :cool:

[rakeshishere]

I could get only 3F's ...:DI tried it the 2nd time and still the same :)and third time i got 4F's :)) but where is 6F's:confused:

[freakitude]

cooool....

[mehulved]

Here are the 6 F's

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

[rakeshishere]

Here are the 6 F's

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE

FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

Ok there were 3 F's in OF which i coudnt find it all..Others all i found it:p

[avinandan]
