Sometimes pictures of things in 3D just don't do it justice. So here, we've created an original optical illusion sculpture video of one of the pices of art that Guido Moretti sent me after we conducted the interview with him. This is a prototype for the cube-non-cube illusion.
Here's how it works: First, you'll see the Necker Cube. (That's the cube that flips on you and at first looks like it's coming toward you, then later it looks like it's pointing away. But then, what comes next in the video is amazing. You find out that the shape you thought you were seeing was not the shape at all, but a completely different optical illusion.
Watch as the scary faces disappear before your eyes.
The longer you stare the stronger the illusion. Perfect to send to your friends for Halloween!
The Obama Illusion
We made this original Barack Obama Illusion and then we made it famous!
Stare for about 30 seconds and you'll see his ghostly image appear on the wall!
Valentines Day Love Test Illusion
This is one of our most highly rated illusions by our visitors. Watch the hearts disappear before your very eyes!
This is really cool. You'll start to see the hearts disappear as you fixate at the center. Don't miss it.
Moving Spiral Illusion
A version of our original moving spiral illusion was recently published in a popular college textbook.
It uses multiple illusory principles to give the illusion that it is moving when it is absolutely not moving. Big enough to be your desktop background!
