I have found something interesting today. As you see, the continuous animation on your left, pictures three grayish rods traveling up and down – indefinitely. Optical illusion produced here, makes my brain think the rods are also traveling to the right, altogether moving in a zigzagged direction. Am I the only one experiencing this? Do [...]

Hmm, last time we saw something like this, the illusion was horizontal. Does it work in vertical mode as well? You decide! Apparently the building pictured in this article stands perfectly upright, and has the same width of it’s footer, as of it’s last floor. How can it be? Why do we see it shaped [...]

Irene Román found this illusion, while looking for some in Google. She asked us if these two concentric circles below look irregular? “They obviously are”, some of you may say. I did as well! Well, since this is optical illusions website – they’re not! This type of visual phenomena is well known to me. I [...]

Examples like this one below have been posted in the past, most of them are still located inside “Seemingly Bent” category. Original illusion of this type is “Cafe Wall Illusion“. Never the less, I decided to post similar one today. I did this because the effect in the image below is strongest to date. Do [...]
