As you move your eyes around these pictures, pattern in use produces an illusory movement, making the “Eye of The Dragon” ascend or descend.

Was just wondering what’s been going on with our Japanese professor #Akiyoshi Kitaoka lately, when I received this amazing submission from one of our fans – featuring recent work done by our favourite professor.

Here’s an illusion Greg sent in the other day. If you look at the #Mona Lisa below, while at the same tim tilting your head, the image will appear to move! Even better effect can be achieved if you move your head closer, and then further away from the screen. I think Mona Lisa is [...]
