    Additionally the direction of motion can reverse due to the existence of multiple 3D visual solutions. Leaning tower illusion: The Leaning tower illusion is an optical illusion that presents two identical images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa side by side. Lilac chaser: Lilac chaser is a visual illusion, also known as the Pac-Man illusion.

  3. 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

  4. Schroeder stairs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schroeder_stairs

    Schroeder stairs can be perceived in two ways, depending on whether the viewer considers A or B to be the closer wall. Schroeder stairs (Schröder's stairs) is an optical illusion which is a two-dimensional drawing which may be perceived either as a drawing of a staircase leading from left to right downwards or the same staircase only turned upside down, a classical example of perspective ...

  5. Op art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op_art

    Op art is a perceptual experience related to how vision functions. It is a dynamic visual art that stems from a discordant figure-ground relationship that puts the two planes—foreground and background—in a tense and contradictory juxtaposition. Artists create op art in two primary ways.

  6. Optical illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion

    The Ponzo illusion is an example of an illusion which uses monocular cues of depth perception to fool the eye. But even with two-dimensional images, the brain exaggerates vertical distances when compared with horizontal distances, as in the vertical–horizontal illusion where the two lines are exactly the same length.

  7. Chubb illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubb_illusion

    The Chubb illusion is similar to another visual illusion, the contrast effect.The contrast effect is an illusion in which the perceived brightness or luminance of an identical central visual target form on a larger uniform background varies to the test subject depending on the ratio of the central form's luminance to that of its background. [4]

  8. Kinetic depth effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_depth_effect

    In visual perception, the kinetic depth effect is the phenomenon whereby the three-dimensional structural form of an object can be perceived when the object is moving. In the absence of other visual depth cues , this might be the only perception mechanism available to infer the object's shape.

  9. Troxler's fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troxler's_fading

    Troxler's fading, also called Troxler fading or the Troxler effect, is an optical illusion affecting visual perception. When one fixates on a particular point for even a short period of time, an unchanging stimulus away from the fixation point will fade away and disappear. Research suggests that at least some portion of the perceptual phenomena ...
