Mega Color Blindness Test

(4 votes)

Optical illusion tests were always my favorite! If you remember, few years ago, when this site only started, we posted our original blindness test. Most of you had no problem seeing the “hidden” numbers, but there were few among us that were color blind, and could in no way see the blended symbols. Color blindness [...]

Disappearing Surfaces Optical Illusion

As you can imagine, it becomes harder and harder for me to find quality optical illusions, and continue posting them regularly. Often I wonder will a day come, when there is no fresh material left for me to post. Fortunately, there are still few hundred never before published illusions sitting on my computer, but I [...]

I’m a big fan of science fiction – specially Isaac Asimov, the father of 3 laws of robotics. If you haven’t heard of him, he’s the guy that wrote “I, Robot” and “Bicentennial Man”. I’ve just finished reading his Foundation series, which received him a Hugo award. You’ve got to read this – best SF [...]

I saw some M&M ads recently (probably even on my own website), and they reminded me of two things – first one was M&M Dark Movies search game we already mentioned before, and the other one was this photo I had on my disk for a while. Am not exactly sure what these little balls [...]

“The Contrast Asynchrony” optical illusion has been created by ShapiroLab enthusiasts. While the effect has been known for some time, variations of images, applications and games that give the best insight have been popping out regularly. This variation is surely my favorite. It is very easy to convince yourselves that the center disks are identical [...]

Do you remember one of our first posts, and probably the most famous optical illusion of all time? Back then we called it “Colored Squares Illusion“, not knowing true history behind it. Investigating a little, I found out that it was originally called “Checkershadow Illusion” and that this famous optical illusions was created way back [...]

Greg Grease Lehman, owner of a relatively famous tattoo shop, and our regular submitter just pointed out that our previously posted optical illusion called Color Tiles Illusion had another interesting aspect. This was his email: “Hello Vurdlak, I was looking at your COLOR TILE ILLUSION. I believe the illusion works this way. The center brown [...]

Johan Streulens created this interesting effect. He sent me an animation which was too big to post on the site, but never the less this screen-shot still gives you an interesting experience. This is what Johan wrote: “This is an experiment with illusion. I just move the same picture up and down“. If you look [...]
