In The City… Guess Which One!

This kind’a reminds me of an old classic film called “The Warriors”. You’ve probably seen it – remember the song “In The City”? Well your asignent is to try and spot what is the optical illusion behind this picture? Can you recognize the city in the image below? I don’t think so… Jump inside the post for the solution!


Hehe tricked you this time. As you see, it isn’t a city at all – just a commercial for micro chips, electronics and processors by CoBis. Have to admit, first time I saw this, I fell for it too! Really amazing resemblance… Did you recognize the mother board of a computer the first time you saw previous image? Optical Illusions rule!

  1. wow thisone is easy…. i have to say it took me about 2 seconds to notice it was a chip but it was easy… you need some hard ones sometime

  2. Actually I saw the micro chips right off, but I have been repairing data systems for 30 years.

    I love the effect though. Good find.

  3. If anybody has seen the inside of a computer, probaby even if not, they would know that this is a motherboard. THIS IS LAME!!!

  4. okay at first glance it kinda looks like a city but when you look at the ‘ground’ and you look at the ‘buildings’ again you can see it’s a chip or if not some kind of electronic device. p.s.(for melky) you spell lego plurally like this-lego! it’s like sheep!

  5. and brad: “imgine if that was a real micro chip that could actualy do something!”

    And your saying a city can’t do anything?

  6. Well when I saw what appeared to be the [long gone] Twin Towers in New York, that’s what I figured it was. But then I noticed some odd water-like places by it, and noticed the chips. Very good!

  7. ^^ Nice one. Almost fooled me. But the cylindrical “towers” in the bottom left corner look too much like part of a circuit board.

  8. I admit it. I was fooled for a moment. The fact that I couldn’t recognize it for several seconds qualifies it as an “Optical Illusion!” What if you weren’t LOOKING for anything unusual? Would you notice it as quickly? I don’t think so.

  9. ‘*-._.-Wii-._.-*’ :
    Hey, Me too!
    I thought I saw new york. probarly only since my bro hasn’t taken any computers apart very recently.

  10. at first i focused on the twin towers and i thought , that isnt New York because the buildings around the towers are different , then i looked arounda little and noticed some pci slots, and a bunch of PC mother boards butted against eachother :P
    cool, then twin towers look like they are about where the cpu should be, so they must be some weird head sink i never seen before of they are added to the scene photoshoped ?

  11. I’m sorry, but some of you are so rude. Here we have someone putting up some cool stuff and a handful of you are ungrateful enough to say things like, “That’s LAME!” and “STUPID!” Good lord, if you don’t like it, don’t comment on it.

    I’m not trying to start a fight, but I’ve been enjoying this site for some time now, and it always makes me sad when I see comments like that. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t super hard, but it was fun and looks cool and it’s entertaining. That’s the most important part. If you want something to confuse you and make you think really hard, work on some quantum physics or make a perpetual motion device.

    And not eveyone falls under this catagory, but a few of you do. I just don’t find it polite or tactful.

    And with all that being said, I liked it, I thought it was cool. It made me smile even though I figured it out after looking at it for a few seconds.

  12. yeah, the first time i saw this one i knew it can’t be a city, it didn’t have any roads, and a city always has roads

  13. I had a feeling it was a chip or circuit board from the get go but i was trying to picture it as a city cuz i’m gullible like that, oh well

  14. i though it was “New York”, but then again i never actually really ever LOOKED at a microchip/motherboard..

  15. lol 1 second I was only looking at the “skyscrapers”, then looked at the rest and said, “Oh, that’s SOOOO a computer chip thingy!”

  16. Ace :)

    My dad has alot of micro chips- god knows why,
    And when i was little i used to imagine them as tiny cities with tiny people living in them
    ahh good times (Y)

    xo

  17. OMG I GOT IT :D and then i was like, nah, it can’t be… so i checked… AND I WAS RIGHT! haha i feel all nerdy now :D

    I actually was playing with my friends old M/B last week… So that’s probs why i realised it wasn’t a city right away. lol.
