Am not sure about origin of these two pictures (the other one is inside this post), but it’s somwhere in a museum dedicated to Optical Illusions, as I heard. Try to figure this one out, it’s practically the same as “Dwarf and a Giant” magic trick I posted earlier. How come the person standing right in the room appears much bigger then the other standing left? … But when they change positions, it’s different case..

    Yeah it’s a museum. The way the room works is that the left side is let’s say 10 feet deep but the right side is 20 feet. The door on the left is say 5 feet high but the one on he righ 10 feet. That’s how the illusion is made

    @Carey: Don’t have to be, we have a museum in The Hague in Holland with a room like that too, it’s the Escher Museum.

    I heard that they make the cameras far away and then they make them really close….. i dont know how to explain it. but its possible that they did it that way.

    For both the recent and original movies of “Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory” and for the television shows “Batman”, “The Time Tunnel”, “The Avengers” and “The Prisoner”, many special effects sequences and sets were made and designed that relied on these types of physical perspective optical illusions to convey an effect or atmosphere in the story. There are a number of science and technology museums, as well as movie and television museums in Los Angeles, Hollywood and Las Vegas, that have exhibits dedicated to these kind of perspective illusions.

    Actually I think it has more to do with the squares on the floor. The ceiling yes, but the squares must be there for a reason.
