Mister M Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thre was a ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach that was based on an optical illusion. You sat on a long bench & the room started spinning around, unfortunately I didn't strap my self in & although I didn't throw myself out of the seat & it just fely like being in the middle of a giant tumble drier - either that or the worst hangover ever!

NorthernStar Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 What do you see here? More here. Fascinating stuff. Fantastic, but now I have to go away from the screen to reset my eyes, everything is still moving - or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHsheff Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The green/yellow circle thing is my fav. Really moving! And the square illusion one is interesting. I'd need to put a ruler on my screen but I bet all those lines are parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same as/similar to Alton Towers' Hex? I always wish they could find a way to make it more extreme as it's a good concept, just not scary enough.

I remember going on this. You sat opposite each other and the bench rattled a bit as you got on it to add to the illusion. Regarding the OP, I love these kind of things. Does anyone remember the magic eye pictures they used to sell in the hole in the road? My mates could never figure em out but I could see every one. Strange!

Guest Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 nothing moved for me............ Don't stare too hard at them; try not to unfocus your eyes. Try looking at them out of the corner of your eye. And try moving your eyes over the images a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 ... Does anyone remember the magic eye pictures they used to sell in the hole in the road? My mates could never figure em out but I could see every one. Strange! I do remember those: drifting your eyes out of focus until the image - eventually - popped out of page. The technique used to see those is the very opposite of what's required here; allow your gaze to shift beyond the plane of these motion illusions and the effect ceases. There's a little on the 'corner of the eye' perceptual drift illusions here. The link to the pdf on that page is dead, but for those interested, it can be found here.
