Blind Spot Test

Now people like to think they don’t but Everyone has a Blind Spot. This test will prove it to you!

Blind spots also known as scotma, which is an obstruction in your visual field. This happens when you lack some of the light detecting photoreceptor cells on the retina. Your brain as powerful as it is, uses data from your other eye to fill in any information that is missing, so your blind spot is not normally noticeable.

Take the test
Start fairly close to the screen and slowly move out if it dosnt work at first. Close your left eye and stare at the plus sign with your right eye, keep your focus on the plus, at some point along the track the dark moving ball will disappear… When it dose, you have found your blind spot!

Fire Face Optical Illusion

Fire Face Optical Illusion was taken by the Department of Fire and Rescue. If you look closely there are two faces hidden in the furious flames. The first face in the flames is on the larger top flame, if you look just under the top little blob u will see the for head then it will go in for the eye, then nose and mouth (with a tongue sticking out!) as you follow down the right side of the flame.

The smaller flame on the bottom has a vary blunt face that resembles a costume ball type mask.

Jesus Toast Art Illusion

This creative piece of art is made completely from Toast! With six toasters running all on different heat settings aka different burntness levels… One creative artist has created this masterpiece. This photo was taken at an street art show in Berlin Germany.

The first one resembles Jesus and was made with some simple toasters.

The Second one is a little more complicated, it requires a little more planning on how to burn the toast, and shaped elements, but a neat effect!

Hollow Face Optical Illusion

The Hollow Face illusion is created by taking a inverted mold of a sculpture. The faces appear to be pushed out but are actually concave. When you look at it, it would be like looking into a mask except with this illusion it appears to be always facing you. The shadows shift in the mold as you move around it giving it a 3d appearance and its appears to follow you as you move around the room. It can be kinda creepy how it is always staring directly at you no matter where you are.

3D Room Optical Illusion

These 3D Room Optical Illusions are a very cool effect. When viewed from the right angle they produce amazing visual effects. These designs are generally created using light to portray the image across the many surfaces. They can then be painted using the light/shadows as a guideline of where to paint.

These are spectacular illusions and can be done on any surface in and any area. I have seen them on harbors, rooms, city blocks ect. Enjoy

The Moon Illusion

The summer moon often plays many tricks on your eyes. When rises in the east it appears very large when it first peaks over the horizon. This is what is referred to as the moon illusion. When you first see the moon it looks incredibly big to the human eye but oddly enough cameras don’t see it but your eyes do; this is the real illusion.

No matter what position in the sky the moon is it is always the exact same size, as of why this illusion occurs.. Scientist are still not 100% sure. One thingis for sure, the best time to view this illusion is when the moon first rise!

This photo was taken by Shay Stephens, it is a time lapse sequence of the moon rising over Seattle.

3D Mural wall art optical illusion

This 3D murals were done by an unknown artist, if anyone knows who it is be sure to let me know. They are very realistic and would fool anyone from a distance. Perspective paintings is hard to master but as you can see once you have got it down you can do amazing things.

Be sure to submit any other 3D Murals or illusions you may have.
Keep them coming!

Static Movement Optical Illusion

Static Movement Optical Illusion shows a simple image that is a static jpg, that appears to be waving around like a flag. This illusion is caused but the light and dark edges along the side of the bean shaped objects, as your eyes move from side to side of the image it, the dark/light borders cause yours eyes to shift giving it the illusion of motion.
