One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Musopticon? Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 This amnesia dust smells like gunpowder... kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Judge Hades Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 They looked the same to me. Not much of an optical illusion if there is no illusion.

alanschu Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 They looked the same to me. Not much of an optical illusion if there is no illusion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then I'd wager there's something wrong with the cones in your eyes.
LadyCrimson Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Did anyone else think the vaunted Illusion #3, even with the swatch pulled 'down', the center pieces didn't look the same color? Close, but not exactly same. One was still more yellow than the other. The others tho - I've seen a lot of stuff like that before. My brother was really into them...plus I've been a guinea pig for...stuff. “Things are as they are.

EnderAndrew Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I like "moving" images. Stare at the center dot and lean your face in and out.
SteveThaiBinh Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Did anyone else think the vaunted Illusion #3, even with the swatch pulled 'down', the center pieces didn't look the same color? Close, but not exactly same. One was still more yellow than the other. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I hold the mask over the picture for a while, I can see that they are the same colour. But if I just move the mask over it for a few seconds, they still look different. I guess that's evidence of the power of the illusion. The scary picture scared me. But then, they say that a certain amount of fear and surprises is actually good for your health. :D It was funny - I'm just glad I wasn't drinking my tea at the time.

Darth Flatus Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 The 3rd illusion doesnt work properly for me because i can still see the compression artifacts on each of the shapes and that makes them different to each other. Although i do get what they are trying to convey. I found the first illusion to be more impressive.
kirottu Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I found the first illusion to be more impressive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me too. Second didn This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Cantousent Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 We've actually managed to derail and come back ontrack. Amazing, these Muggles! Anyhow, that moving picture thing creeps me out also. I wan't too terribly impressed with the first set of optical illussions, but I thought the 3rd looked really cool. It worked for me the first try. I think the second one is the most impressive.

LadyCrimson Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 So I'm curious how many people can see those 'pictures' in the 3D random-noise looking displays that were the rage for a short time. I never could. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Cantousent Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I could. I didn't always see them very easily, but I could always find them.

julianw Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 So I'm curious how many people can see those 'pictures' in the 3D random-noise looking displays that were the rage for a short time. I never could. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is a trick you can use. Draw two dots on top of the pictures. Staring at those dots until there are exactly three of them. Then move you eyes towards the picture, and you should have it. Try it next time , it might work.
LadyCrimson Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I've been told 'how to's' before...tho I don't remember if I ever tried that exact one. Was a while ago. But doesn't matter. I still don't see them. “Things are as they are.

mkreku Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I can't see them either. And I recently played an adventure game that had those pictures as one of its puzzles. I had to ask my girlfriend to help me! Humiliating. Oddly enough, I don't remember which game it was, but seeing as I spent part of my summer at my mom's house, I'm guessing it was one of hers.

julianw Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 It's always quite easy for me to see them, since I have a book full of those. After a while, I can even see 3D features in tablecloth, bathroom floor tiles or anything else with repetitive patterns . If you read those patterns following the same way you read those 3D-pictures, you can see the patterns get much larger and two layers of them appear . (No, I was not smoking anything when I did it.) Give it a try when nobody else is around.
