Okay, I was going through a few websites and found some optical Illusions! There are many here so It will take a few moments to do this.
Okay let's start:
(self explainitoy)
Stare at the different Black Blocks!
Tri-curve
Each of the 3 curves shown below are sections of the circle.
Which would form the largest circle though?
ANSWER:They're all the same size
Rotating dot whirlpool
Wow! Try staring at this for more than 5 seconds
without going crazy. Then try following it round! =)
Curves constantly die out and then re-evolve as
part of another curve.
Primrose's field
This amazing illusion to the right was created by Akiyoshi Kitaoka. It already looks quite 'wavy', but try slowly moving the mouse cursor up and down the center of the image - and focus on the cursor. You should see the picture 'waving' in an incredible way.
What does this simple green signpost say?
Guess again.
ANSWER:Sign says "I love Paris in the /the/ springtime".
The word "the" is repeated.
The glowing core
Look into the centre (white point) and stare for a while. How many colours can you see altogether in the object? You should see a purplish circle... and the 4 rotating 'wings' are tinted green. Make sure you always keep focused on the centre.
Once you've done this, read on...
Are those four wings really green? Amazingly, they are exactly the same colour as the circle inside. Don't believe me? Well try following one of the wings round. You'll see that the colour matches the inner circle perfectly.
The Eclipse of Mars
See a new colour you've never seen before!!
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, very 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 witness the Eclipse of Mars!...
Wheel of Confusion
Which way is the wheel turning!?
Focus on the red dots and follow them round... it appears to be rotating anti-clockwise. However, if you follow the yellow dots round instead, the whole wheel will be turning the other way! - clockwise!
Magic Zoomster
This cool optical illusion has been seen before, but I've spruced it up by adding colour, multiple layers, and making it bigger!! The idea is to focus on the dot in the centre and then move your head constantly towards and away from the monitor. You should see the circles rotate spookily!
