  2. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    An angular size illusion may be accompanied by (or cause) a linear size illusion at the same time. The perceived visual angle paradigm begins with a rejection of the classical size–distance invariance hypothesis (SDIH), which states that the ratio of perceived linear size to perceived distance is a simple function of the visual angle.

  3. The leans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_leans

    The leans is a type of vestibular illusion in flight which causes spatial disorientation. The process involves the semicircular canals of the vestibular system. The semicircular canals detect angular acceleration. In total, there are three semicircular canals: the anterior, posterior, and lateral canals.

  4. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    The observers in experiment carried out by Murray and colleagues viewed a flat picture with two discs that subtended the same visual angle and formed retinal images of the same size , but the perceived angular size ′ of one was about 17% larger than for the other, due to differences in the background patterns for the disks. It was shown that ...

    The Hering illusion (1861): When two straight and parallel lines are presented in front of radial background (like the spokes of a bicycle), the lines appear as if they were bowed outwards. Hollow-Face illusion: The Hollow-Face illusion is an optical illusion in which the perception of a concave mask of a face appears as a normal convex face.

    The Moon illusion is the optical illusion of the Moon appearing ... the Moon's angular diameter can vary from 29.43 arcminutes at apogee to 33.5 arcminutes at ...

  7. Sensory illusions in aviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_illusions_in_aviation

    This illusion is caused by very small movements of the eyes in conjunction with staring at a fixed single point of light (ground light or a star) in a totally dark and/or featureless background. In such conditions, these otherwise harmless eye movements are interpreted by the brain as movement of the object being viewed (due to the lack of ...

    Square faces are naturally more angular, so proper blush placement is crucial. Remember, with a square-shaped face, the name of the game is creating the illusion of softer, more rounded features ...

  9. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    The widely accepted interpretation of, e.g. the Poggendorff and Hering illusions as manifestation of expansion of acute angles at line intersections, is an example of successful implementation of a "bottom-up," physiological explanation of a geometrical–optical illusion. Ponzo illusion in a purely schematic form and, below, with perspective clues
