OPTICAL ILLUSIONS

Do you know what an optical illusion is? It is something that does not look like what it seems. What do you see above? A cup or 2 faces? Here are some fun illusions I think you will like.

1. Color Illusion

2. Black Haze


3. Black Dots

4. Number Trick


5. Straight Lines?


6. Young or Old Woman


7. Is it a Square?



(Can you see the planet Saturn in the picture above???)

There are also VERY COOL images called autostereograms. They are simple pictures with hidden 3-dimensional pictures inside. Ask your mom or dad for help. See if they can see the following images. I can see them all, can you? Don't hurt your eyes!! Here is the company that makes them, Magic Eye. There you can get instructions on how to see them.


(Can you see the 2 bunnies in the picture below?)
(Can you see a golden eagle in the picture below?)



Here are more images. A new one each week. 3-D image of the week

HAVE FUN!!

Love,
Uncle Shawn & Mr. Ted
