Very clever, just goes to show you that we can confuse the brain until one really concentrates on what is there to what is not.

Again, thanks to Vurdlak for posting this contribution. Like he already described, I wanted to convince myself of the possibility of the perspective phenomenon. So I made the positioning of the vehicles in Photoshop,(!yes it’s a bit untidy) and I could not believe it myself first. During i dragged the lambo’s around, it looked like as if the objects were shrinking. really crazy…. :)

Thanks spider, that’s incredible. This has something do with what’s called constancy scaling then?

Regardless, I get it now. Incredible. Love it. Thanks.

And to all those that can’t help but point out it’s photoshopped, we know.. what’s your point? That’s the illusion fools. It’s like you guys think Photoshop is just some magical tool that makes all these crazy things possible.. really it is just like MSPaint on steroids. Which really is at it’s most basic a canvas and paint palette. Search for “Mona Lisa MS Paint” online, might change your view.

I think original colour of the car is red, and the original position of the car is where the blue is.

What you think?

“The cars are the same size but because our brain expects the one in the foreground to be larger, it appears smaller.”

To people who don’t get it:

Your brain process the info received from your sight in terms of perspective. Example: from where you stand, object A is farther away than object B. For your brain to accept the fact or calculate that A is the same size as B, then A has to LOOK/SEEM smaller than B.

Vice versa, if you see that A seems the same size or bigger than B, then your brain would automatically accept the fact that A is ACTUALLY bigger than B.

That’s why perspective has a big role in this illusion. You see the parking space with the roof? And the cars in it? That’s the most obvious perspective you see in this image. As you see the roof gets lower, the pillars and cars get smaller, your brain would automatically accept the fact that those objects are the same size.

That’s why when you see four cars with the exact same size, your brain would automatically think that they’re NOT. That the red is bigger than the blue, and the blue is bigger than the green, and the green is bigger than the yellow. It’s because at the same time, your brain is processing the “correct” perspective sight right next to it.

That’s why I compared this illusion with the bulls poster in my previous comment (although it turns out to be NOT a beer commercial. It’s some kind of a soup or toast spread.) Check it out here: http://www.moillusions.com/2009/03/sinking-feeling-illusion-by-bovril.html

Click the “Relative Size” link on the Illusion Category on the right bar for other comparison. You WILL see that on this type of illusion, there’s always a “correct” perspective sight right next to the “different size” objects.

Hope it helps.

To “photoshopped” or “fake” comments: Are you guys stupid or what? Read Vurdlak’s foreword for this illusion, why don’t you?

“If you are still not convinced that all of our different-colored cars are the same, check their license plates ;)”

Vurdlak clearly stated that this picture WAS photoshopped. It’s the same car (with the same license plate, that’s why he told you to check them out) duplicated and pasted there —> i.e: photoshopped!

The point Vurdlak was trying to get through (that you guys apparently didn’t get) was: It’s not only the same car, it’s also the same size, even though you seem to see them to be different in size.

The photo editing wasn’t done very well, not up to your usual standard? Who the f*** cares? That’s not the point! The point is, it’s an illusion of cars that seem to be in different size when they’re actually the same size.
