optical illusions

Funny Spiral

Stare at the center of the spiral for about a minute. Then look at the back of your hand...
It will appear to be twitching and moving, as though bugs were crawling under your skin!


Distorted Circle

The circle in this image is perfectly round. The lines in the background distort the circle so that it appears squashed.


Rotating Effect



Illusion Count

Can you find the 9 faces?


Parallel lines

Are the horisontal lines parallel or do they slope?

[resurepus]

All 3 figures are the same size!


Count the number of people on the picture. Are you sure?


Is the left center circle bigger?

No, they are both the same size.



Count the black dots



Shades

Look closely at tile A and B. They seem to be different shades of gray. They are actually the same color. Don't believe it? Open the image in Photoshop.

[resurepus]

How is this possible?


black dot

I love optical illusions! That one with tile A and B is really really confusing me. The first one at the top didnt work for me.

black dot

I love stuff like this. I especially like the "count the black dots" one. Very disorienting.

Awesome, I've seeen these before though...on ebaumsworld.com anyhow, the one with th gray shades is the most impreessive in my opinion

[Darkmonkey]

They are Brillliant. I only found 8 faces, and the missing sqaure one is bewildering. I like the rotating one the best. As said, very disorientating.

I got a little curious how these optical illusions work and made a quick search in google. I found this website: http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ which I recommend visiting everybody who plans using optical illusions in design or just wants to know how these fancy pictures work.

After doing those one after the other this afternoon I had to walk away from the computer because my eyes felt funny
The first one didnt work, the only thing that happened was I saw semi-transparent white lines

[Nrak]

Rofl! Bwahaha! A+B really got to me!! Had to cut the squares and place them side by side to be absolutely sure! Roflio!! .

[NavySeals]
