Optical Illusions.

Hi,

Not sure if these are any good, but...

This one's pretty familiar, at least for artists. What do you see?

Negative area. See what's not there.


This one's a little bit complicated. Position your head to about 30cm distance of the monitor. Close your right eye, then look at the spot on the right. Can do the same with left eye closed, in that case look at the spot on the left.

Blind spot. There are no light receptor cells where the nerve connects in the eye.


Finally a banana. Stare from close range at the small yellow spot in the middle for a minute or so. Don't let your eyes wander. Then close your eyes and cover them with your hands.

Overburdening light receptor cells causes a "backfire" showing the inverse image.

Wow, that cross thing is freaky. Datruth's one is weird too.

And the dolphins are definitely harder to see than the naked couple. I'd be more interested if it was one dolphin that was also a naked chick, rather than a bunch of dolphins making up the picture. Then there's like, an equal chance to notice them.


Edit: Huh, they all worked for me, Cherp. Yay, I'm normal... The banana thing was freaky. It was perfectly reversed...

Here is one I made myself. What do you see? A metal container pouring water or something else?

[Idoru]

no offence, but I cant even see that

Wow, that looks awesome. If you made it bigger I'd use it as my desktop!


It looks to me like some sort of drain in a sink with water flowing into it, yet also some kinda portal to another dimension
