Bouncing Tomato Illusion

22 comments

Hey guys and gals, see what I found while browsing the web! Do you like tomatoes? If you do, you'll adore this bouncing tomato in the picture below. While starring at it, I experienced some great effects, but when I observed the picture from really close, I couldn't find any visible border! How does it work? Can someone help? I realize it works in a same way as this hologram (pretty similar illusion), but with this one I just can't get any clue. Try moving your head in all directions, and the tomato diamond just keeps changing shapes. Great! I really enjoyed it, hope you like it as well.

    mmmm in spanish:
    No hay ninguna division lineal, lo que pasa es que en el centro del dibujo, la separación de los "tomates" pasa de ser "Vertical=Verde Horizontal=Blanco" a "Vertical=Blanco Horizontal=Verde" por eso da la senzacion de una linea divisoria...

    esop.

    sorry for writing in spanish, but i form Chile.

    the green bars in the diamond go hoizontaly and out the diamond they go vertical and vice versa for the white

    TRANSLATION:
    There is no linear division, what happens is that in the center of the drawing, the separation of the "tomatos" happens to be "Vertical=green, Horizontal=white" to "Vertical=white Horizontal=green" for that reason gives a sensation of a dividing line...

    Well, the guy who posted this definitely has better drugs than I.

    I really didn't get much out of it.

    Yes, there's a round shape in the center but it doesn't bounce or move at all. So what. I certainly could get it to change shapes whilst moving my head from side to side and up and down. And I really did smoke a joint before trying any of this!

    You were wondering about the visible borders.
    A clue: look at the white and green x's in between.

    Just stared at this to see the "tomato". Didn't see it, but if you stare at the very centre orange, it starts to fade between orange and red and back again. Throb even :-) Weird.

    If you look closely at the edges of the diamond, you can see a lighter yellow line, most visible by the red circles.

    I assume this one plays with the color receptors in the eyes. When viewed with the proper color temperature, there is a diamond which appears to "move" as your eyes focus on the image. If the color temperatures are adjusted so there is less contract between the orange and red circles, it appears as more of a circle that doesn't do much. Hence some of the comments noted above.
