Optical Illusions

[Juttin]

I like optical illusions :)

The colour you are about to witness is actually true Cyan ... a colour that is heavily diluted on the vast majority of monitors (thanks to colour pollution). Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle. The longer - the better (two minutes and you'll get a much stronger effect). Always try to keep focused on the white dot. It'll be worth it.
Soon after staring, you'll start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Don't stop staring though yet! Wait another minute - keeping your head perfectly still.
Once you've done this, slowly - move your head backwards - making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. The circle's rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and it'll glow very hot!...

They suck because they work from people's brains being too stupid to see some things correctly. Holograms are where it's at. Those are wacky!

Dammit now I have a wiggly cyan Jesus burned into my eyes :<

[RaNkeri]

When you've seen 'em once, you've seen 'em all :/

[Girl Drink Drunk]

That second one you sent was just plain cool.

[Trash]

That Jesus one has always been fun.

This one still blows my mind. Even when I check it in Paint I still can't believe that squares A and B are the exact same color. :(

[RaNkeri]

same here, that same picture was on the latest issue of Finnish science magazine D:

They say that if people see difference between them. they can't focus on the right part of the pic :/

Mostly because I'm too lazy to check it....

that is so fucking cool :eek

[pjalne]

That guy has done a shitload of those, they're really awesome.

http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/pave.htm

[camacazio]

That guy's AMAZING

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Man, I first so that stuff in Graphic Arts class. Up until that point, I wondered if art like that was possible.

[pjalne]

Oh, we've been doing that since the Baroque, the technique is called trompe l'oeil. Personally, I'll take an Adam West rescue on the sidewalk over an angelic revelation on the ceiling any day, though.

Oops, I didn't know ziggy already posted the link to the rest of them. Sorry, dude.

[RaNkeri]

Damn! That Batman thing is cooles I've ever seen :eek

[MarioRPG]

I've seen them all before. I am far from amazed.

[ziggytrix]

Oops, I didn't know ziggy already posted the link to the rest of them. Sorry, dude.

APOLOGY REJECTED! ;)



also... MarioRPG, the guy who made those expressed more talent and creativity in one drawing than you likely will in your entire fucking life. :D

[camacazio]

It's best to take those kinds of comments entirely seriously.

[ziggytrix]

if you're talking to me, i should like you to know i have no fucking clue what you mean. :]
