5266 - Ames window illusion


Even after you see how it works, your mind will still see the illusion.


OK, this is long 15 minutes. (The last 2 minutes are a commercial.) But the guy is a good presenter so the time will go by quickly. For the attention deficit people, for sure, watch the first 5 minutes. Then jump to the 12 minute mark for a 30 second quick explanation.

That is pretty cool

John - The magic man speaks! And the retired man can build one now that he has free time.

Never would have figured this one out on my own :-)

Mike said...

Kathy - Even with the explanation it's hard to figure out.

Fascinating.
I have found that speeding up the video by clicking on settings and choosing a faster speed is helpful to my attention deficit self.

There's a 'thing' out there called 'get to the fuckin' monkey'. All about how the latest King Kong movie took forever to show you the ape himself.

I find myself saying that same phrase in a variety of situations. .:)

Ami - I know what you're talking about but I forget about it all the time. Just like the , and . that move you back 10 seconds or forward 10 seconds. But that doesn't work all the time and I don't know why. I think it might have something to do with the URL you're watching the video on.
