Default Awesome Optical illusion

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!!

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.

Freakking awesome !

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

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.....!!!

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.

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
