Blue Diamonds Optical Illusion

(17 votes)

This is a diamond variation of the Craik O’Brien Cornsweet illusion. What you have to do, is to look at each row of diamonds below. Does each row appear darker than the row above it? It sure does to me. In reality, all of the diamond shapes present in this figure are in fact identical [...]

Concentrate on the left image, where you can see four circles with quarter of their constructional lines painted blue. If you blur your eyes a little, you should perceive a faint bluish color within the square region. As you presumed, it’s only an illusion – the square region is completely white. To prove this, let [...]

Skull Chaser Optical Illusion

Here’s an interesting approach to original Lilac Chaser illusion, invented many years ago… Wait for the animation to load, and concentrate on the center dot for a minute or so. Normally the skulls are disappearing in a clock-wise direction, but if you manage to stay still and concentrated, you will experience an afterimage of the [...]

Perhaps my solution thingy doesn’t work in all browsers? I gave it a test in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer, and all three gave [...]

Color Blindness Test – Ultimate Edition

Sometimes, optical illusions can serve a purpose. These images might seem familiar to you; look closely. Do they remind you of anything? If you have a driving license, or attended a medical exam at some point in your life, there is a big chance you encountered these during the process. Attached on your left, [...]

Except writing entirely about optical illusions, you may have noticed that sometimes I share my reflections on every day life as well. Few posts ago I shared my view on similar flicks that hit the cinemas, and when the Americans were deciding who their new leader shall be, I did the same. Does this bother [...]
