Optical Illusions (Updated May 7th) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Atropos4 · 04-27-2003, 07:51 AM

check this out...

To see the illusion, you need to stare intently at the black dot in the centre of the image and move your head toward then away from the screen...

Is it a moving image, or are your eyes playing tricks on you?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Stare at this image long enough and you'll start to see it move before your very eyes or get sick!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*edit by phredgreen*
the idea is to say the colours of the words, not read the words themselves. therein lies the challenge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Atropos4 · 04-27-2003, 08:00 AM

Here's and easy little test for you. Just count how many black dots you can see...

------------------------------------------------------------

Look at this image and decide if you think the grey lines are straight or not...

Answer: Incredible as it may seem, the grey lines are straight. Print it out and grab a ruler if you don't believe me!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Stare intently at the black dot in the centre of this image and watch the grey shadow disappear

This is a static image..It's your own eyes that did that!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll let you figure this one out on your own. I think the drawing is actually quite common.

What do you see?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Just in case you aren't feeling ill enough already...... To enhance the effect scroll up and down...

-------------------------------------------

so tell me what you think....
I found these and thought they were pretty cool

GuttersnipeXL · 04-27-2003, 12:04 PM

The one where ya gotta count the black dots, triggered some kind of weird flashback. I don't feel right at all, I'm leaving now.

User Name · 04-27-2003, 01:17 PM

I did the one with the color names perfectly. Aren't I a special boy?

vermin · 04-27-2003, 01:25 PM

The orange one was intense, man (repo man's always intense).

phredgreen · 04-27-2003, 02:17 PM

Atropos4 · 04-27-2003, 05:50 PM

Glad you all like them....

phoenix1002 · 04-27-2003, 06:05 PM

Those are really cool... just glad I was sitting down, and had a bucket nearby

. Second time this weekend my trash can has been used for something other than trash...

(j/k)

Haven't seen most of those before. Really cool, you need a disclaimer: Do not operate any heavy equipment while looking at these pictures.

rwawra · 04-27-2003, 06:35 PM

courstesy of http://www.optillusions.com/
How many legs does this elephant have?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Can you see 3 faces?

-------------------------------------------------------

Do you see a musician or a girls face?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you see an old mans face or two lovers kissing?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you see?

Yes there is a face but also the word Liar.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Is the left center cirlce bigger?

Same size actually.
------------------------------------------------------

Spiral right?

Nope. Actually these are independent circles
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I really like this one.

The Queen

Stare at the negative image of the Queen for about 1 minute
without moving your eyes. Then look at a blank sheet of paper
and you'll see the queen.

More to come if you all like.

MSD · 05-07-2003, 07:30 PM

I love these, it took me a few minutes to see the kissing one, but then it stands out. More, please!

hotzot · 05-07-2003, 07:43 PM

I don't feel so good.

Loup · 10-19-2003, 05:53 AM

How many horses?

Answer: 7 ... But I only see 5

(Edit) Update: I can see 6 now - still missing one

jerseyboy · 10-19-2003, 09:21 PM
