[mangajack]

myth and hoax Escherian images have been around since the 1700's......this is just a video form of the same imagery.

I am not sure about 1700's , not that the date really matters though.

I watched that with the sound off but don't understand the purpose of the video other than entertainment the same as any other illusionist. Is just another illusion because we all know what they're trying to show just isn't possible....the wonders of technology and editing.

 

[CanuckChubbs]

So its clear, this video had some serious editing?

Don't know but the fact that what it supposedly shows isn't possible means that's something has been done to make it appear possible.

 

[mangajack]

along the same illusion lines...

Though not strictly an optical illusion, the Isihara Color Blindness test illustrates the variability of human perception. The numeral "82" here is clearly visible to viewers with normal color vision.

I'm one of those who can't see anything but dots in that pic.

That's troubling, BB

Your mind subconsciously interprets this line drawing of an impossible cube as a three-dimensional object, even though it is not actually possible for such an object to exist.

 

[Barrabundy]

Still can't see the number 82 but that last drawing doesn't look impossible, should I be interpreting is as the frame of a rectangular prism? That's what it looks like to me and I reckon I could make it out of box section steel very easily....I reckon you're just tricking us!

I can't see any numbers at all although I'm probably closer to seeing some sort of random shape this morning than I was last night.

I've obviously got colour blindness issues or there really isn't a number there.

Even though I know it's only 2 dimensional, the 3 dimensional shape my mind sees it as is almost the same as the gram I carry my kayak on in the well body of my ute, definitely possible unless you've attached the wrong pic.

I only counted 81

Methinks squidder is being mischevious.

Yep, I'm an easy catch.
