This is really interesting, at least to me. It's called The Ames Room/Illusion, and is designed to trick our minds.
That's amazing! The illusion your mind and eyes can play on you when you see things that are not of the ordinary. Guess artists can visualize these sort of things when they paint or draw making their images 3 dimensional. I've always marveled at how artists can make things look so real like trump l'oeil.
I love stuff like this! I know it's all a matter of perspective and proportion, but I like to believe it's all done with real magic. LOL
Here's another. This is a performance from Dancing With The Stars, and it really amazed me when I first saw it, and it still does. I know they explained how it was accomplished, but I don't remember what they said. I'm thinking mirrors, but I could be wrong. Like @Brittany Houser, I still believe in magic.
It's amusing to enter an illusion house. I was able to experience that this summer in a theme park (near the mountain resort that we went to). Called Funtastic, it had lots of novelties worthy of the camera. You can imagine the kids rummaging in the chest of costumes and headgear with a background that can fool the ordinary eye. There is also that illusion room like that in the first post where the one person looks small while the other looks like a giant. Here is my contribution to this thread - an optical illusion of a floating head. Take note, that's me in the photo...
Great pic, that sounds like a fun and interesting place. I've never heard of an illusion house, other than the rooms with the crazy mirrors that distort people. How does it feel to see your head there???
