Sorry for such a long delay between posting. I can assure you that the excuse is justified – in other words, don’t ask. I’ll probably announce it in a day or so, when the momentum is strong enough. Concerning the illusion for today, I believe similar one was already featured on the site few months ago – probably a slightly different motive was used, but the principle it works under, is identical. Those of you who are long time visitors, already have an idea how this works. The blurred dolphin below is just a plain illusion. If you move your head few meters away from the screen, you should be able to spot a race car. I’m not quite certain which type, since I’m not into them. For another similar illusion, check Marilyn Monroe illusion, as well as Cat Woman article. Comment your thoughts on which car this represents.

i see both, wicked still!
hehe. cool. just unfocus your eyes and you’ll see it. haha.
w00t first comment?
uhh well I definatly see a race car, lol, but I can’t tell what kind. Good illusion though.
I see it, but it’s still kind of blurry. You don’t have to stand far away though, just squint your eyes.
how is this even an illusion??? its two pictures on top of each other, similar form, and one is just transparent, while the unfocused one is opaque. worst “illusion” ever
That’s a bit pants isn’t it. I could do that in photoshop in 5 minutes as could anyone with a basic knowledge of the program. Sorry not impressed at all!!
congrats. you can put 2 pictures together and look thru them. woopie!
wow if u squint your eyes you can see it :)
if u look at the fuzzy background of the dolphin u will notice that the blueish greyish part is acctually a car!!
THE CAR IS EASIER TO SEE IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE FROM THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE. THE TYPE OF CAR ISNT ANY SPICIFIC KIND, ITS SOMTHING YOU WOULD SEE IN CARTOONS.
loox like a nascar great illusion!
Ok, Now why did you stop with the so called illusions?
When did a drawing of a dolphin on top of a blurry car picture become an illusion??
you could see a car you have to move the page up and down very fast on the left side move your page up then down
4-door honda accord or my guess is Lexus IS350 (older body style)
looks like you forgot the dorsal fin
How amateur….
Amateur, lame, photoshop trick, who cares, it’s cool looking. I saw the car out of corner of my eye. Then I tilted my glasses and got the effect. Very neat seeing the dolphin and car appear in turns.
signed – the eternal 7 year old.
its just a picture of a car with tracing paper over it
okay people if youre so critical then dont visit this site if it sucks that “bad”…
-_-
Boooooooooooooring!
Well I though it was cool. X-P
its a porsche 911
is anybody else wondering why there’s a random soccer ball in the sky?
this one just like others was the easiest thing ever im in the same spot i was when i started on this site it has never changed how far away i had to go….. i notice them right away
You people should really cut this webmaster some slack. Look, that webmaster had a break from this site and when he/she came back to it, his/her mind was obviously somewhere else. So you can’t expect a great illusion right away. Sure it’s a dolphin with a blurred car in the background you can see well without squinting. But at least when you squint the car jumps in the foreground and the dolphin goes in the background. That has to have at least some degree of coolness. Come on people! Anyways, shame on you for being such a-holes about this!
they just layered it. the lines of the dolphin you see when you’re up close are harder to see from farther away, and the blurred color is clearer from farther away, though you can still see it up close. so NO, the dolphin isn’t an illusion, and the car isn’t either. i’m sorry but this sucks so much it’s sad.
What is wrong with you people? The car is intentionally blurred to provide the color for the dolphin, and I thought it was done quite well. When will you people stop judging others, and make your own?
no one cares
U can see it when you blur your eyes.
Whats up with this one? im not seeing it….
dude! its just a drawing of a dolphin with a car behind it, not much of an illusion lolz
okay, if you can’t spot the car. squint your eyes until they are almost closed and look at the dolphin. if that doesn’t work, try to step back from the computer like 2 feet and focus on the dolphin.
That’s pretty cool! I wonder how you make these…
HIHIHIHIHIHI I LIKE THIS ONE!!!!
cool but cant quite get it
WIERD BUT KOOL:p
just a race car with a dolphin in front of it. Who in their right mind would actually think of doing these things? It would all be trial and error. very frustrating
