Although we’ve gotten over 10,000 MySpace users hooked on “Illusion of The Day” application, I haven’t received a single feedback on it till now. In my opinion this is the best widget we have published, do you share my view? I’d be more than glad to hear you opinion! So please comment. Concerning the illusion, here we have a hybrid image of some really cluttered desk. Using high spatial frequency superimposition of color onto a black and white low frequency field, results in a pretty interesting optical illusion. At close distance, there is a woman sitting at her computer amidst a somewhat cluttered desk. All these elements exist in pale colored tones. Once you move away from your screen and this image for a few meters, the woman at the desk will disappear as well as the surrounding clutter. The pale colored tones will have faded into the sea of gray scale that exists on the lower spatial frequency plane. This illusion was crated by MIT’s Aude Oliva back in 2006.

I am not able to see any difference between the closer look and a long from distance
i thought it was awesome i want a picture like that up on my wall
“It all disappears if I turn my monitor off!”
:D I love it
I can see it! You have to be way back to see it, though, and it’s hard to see, then.
For anyone who cant stand up and walk backwards for 6 meters, press ctrl and scroll at the mouse at the same time. The pic will get smaller and apears to be further away.
I like this app, but you need to fix the bugs. Number one, a dark backround for the pic would fit in a lot better on most people’s pages than that ugly white. And maybe just a simple link to the other optical illusions, rather than a really long one that fades off into …’s. Other than that, awesome! Keep making cool stuff, you rock!
If you squint really really hard, you get the effect that I’m guessing is supposed to happen when you take several steps backwards.
Except when I go back 3 meters I hit the wall and I can still see everything clearly
No, I don’t see it either :(
It´s very giid it really work, i lije this one very much
