Freaky optical illusion Created 15 years ago2009-06-22 00:57:13 UTC by Tito

A friend of mine send me this one strange picture to my cell phone last night with some instructions on how to see it. Well, after following the instructions on how to see this picture, I freaked-out for a second, but just momentarily. Afterwards, I just started to laugh at the whole thing, it's just a silly trick of the eyes.

Here's the picture:Now, follow these instructions carefully:

1.Relax and concentrate on the 4 small dots in the middle of the picture for approximately 30 seconds.

2.Take a look at a wall near you (or any smooth, single colored surface).

3.You will see a circle of light developing.

4.Start blinking your eyes a couple of times and you will see a figure emerging...

5.What do you see? Moreover, who do you see?

Even without reading the instructions I already knew how to look at it. Looks like Jesus to me. Furthermore, if you look at he illusion long enough, without paying attention to it, you can manage to understand the layout, and see it that way too.
These illusions are awesome.

This is one of the oldest illusions I can think of. I remember seeing this in elementary school.

Yeah, I've seen that kind before too. Dunno if it was the same one or not.

hahahaha but his tounge is stiking out

Yes, coming back on what World Crafter said, this picture is pretty old, in fact so old, a lot of people have already forgotten it. I have been told it is actually part of a collection of other pictures like it.

Never seen this before. Pretty cool. :>
The figure looked a bit like Anders Friden.

It also looks a bit like jesus

(yes I've seen jesus before)

Haha, that's awesome. This one's pretty cool too. It hurts my brain.

I saw Darth Vader for a second, actually.

The illusion ChickenFist posted is pretty neat. It takes a little doing, but if you look at how the shadows are cast as the window becomes parallel with the camera's line of view, you can see through the illusion

I like the forced depth of field imagery that makes stuff look like miniatures.

i thought they just looked like toy cars. particularly the blue bus...

Ahh, tilt-shifting. Pretty awesome technique.

Yeah indeed, it just gives you too much detail, im a modelbuidling myself in 1:87 and 1:200 and i can assure you that you wont get that much detail.

my favourite is always Neave's Strobe.

Yes. You have almost the same effect after playing guitar hero for a few hours. After your eyes adjust to the screen moving down, everything else seems to move up.

I got drunk one night and played for 3 hours straight, i swear when i turned around i thought my toaster was floating...

(It was a dorm room, why else would there be a toaster behind me?)

Yeha that thing is awesome, I feel like having a HUD

Yes. You have almost the same effect after playing guitar hero for a few hours. After your eyes adjust to the screen moving down, everything else seems to move up.

This scared my roommate once
He was up late playing GH and thought my microwave was floating.
