The amazing way we can trick our brain

Photo editing has gone one step further into the world of bizarre and abstract images. VisualFunHouse is a site aimed at designers to admire some incredible graphics work and upload some of their own. Here we see some entertaining and mind boggling pictures of animals with alternative heads, which makes a very strange concoction of creature, from a Lion-roo to a Wolf-pigeon. Software like Photo-shop can be used to create this type of illusion.

So while you are chatting the friends online, or you’re between games on http://www.partycasino.com/ why not have a look at these quirky and unusual illusions and share the link with your friends Some will make you laugh, while others will just make you squirm. We not only see strange animals, but humans becoming invisible within a background and unusual motorcycle helmets.

Further down the page we see a house totally upside down, with the roof immersed in the ground. It looks so realistic and believable, you could almost believe it for a second, if someone told you there was a bad hurricane.

As you scroll down even more, you see people in a house with everything out of proportion. There is even a magical bathroom where the floor is the sky. These are clever editing skills used to manipulate a photo, but how do real optical illusions work?

 

An illusion is a distortion of the senses, it confuses the brain and interrupts its normal organization. In visual illusions, people’s depth and motion perception changes. This is misinterpreted by the brain to give us a false image.

The information gathered by the eye is then processed by the brain, but it does not represent the real physical measurement.

Our brains are incredible, but they can be fooled sometimes. The brain constructs a whole world, using previous sights and pieces of the surrounding environment. Occasionally the brain will fill in the gaps for us, presuming we are seeing something that doesn’t actually exist.

The Checker Shadow illusion was creeated by Edward H Adelson in 1885. The board seems to have white and black squares (like a chess board), however, they are exactly the same color. It seems impossible, but it is the brain playing tricks on you.

Elevator Door Optical Illusions

Elevators can make great canvas’s for creating optical illusion art. In the past we have posted some such as the kill bill elevator, golds gym ad and even a bottomless elevator!

If only every elevator had a cleaver ad, It would be kind fun!  Enjoy

MADD Anti Drinking and Driving Ad

MADD aka Mothers Against Drunk Driving have always been good at finding cleaver ways to promote their anti drinking and driving campaigns. Another almost shocking anti drinking and driving ad is the 3D drinking and driving bathroom sticker ad. The Ad below uses a poster of a car that skidded out and crashed into the urinal, with just some pre printed skid marks and a bit of crinkled paper this ad gave me a chuckle yet still manages to make a good point! So remember boys and girls, don’t drink and drive.

Human Meat

PETA has done it again with this shocking advertisement. Their ad depicts nude women wrapped in giant meat trays to show how inhumane the meat industry really is. Next time you look at a nice piece of meat do you think you will imagiane how tastey it is or see a nude human all wrapped up, its a good concept with a shock factor. What would you think if you stumbled upon some attractive ladies that were all packaged up
