Sander illusion. The Sander illusion or Sander's parallelogram is an optical illusion described by the German psychologist Friedrich Sander (1889–1971) in 1926. However, it had been published earlier by Matthew Luckiesh in his 1922 book Visual Illusions: Their Causes, Characteristics, and Applications Archived 2008-11-21 at the Wayback Machine.
Movement that appears to occur when fixed pictures turn on and off. Bezold Effect: An apparent change of tone of a colour due to the alteration of the colour of the background. Blivet: Also known as "poiuyt" or "devil's fork", this illusion is an impossible image because in reality the shape cannot exist. Café wall illusion
The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A l (half linear dimensions yields quarter area), and the area of the parallelogram is A ...
Splitting the thin parallelogram area (yellow) into little parts, and building a single unit square with them. The key to the puzzle is the fact that neither of the 13×5 "triangles" is truly a triangle, nor would either truly be 13x5 if it were, because what appears to be the hypotenuse is bent.
Shepard had described an earlier, less-powerful version of the illusion in 1981 as the "parallelogram illusion" (Perceptual Organization, pp. 297–9). [1] The illusion can also be constructed using identical trapezoids rather than identical parallelograms. [7] A variant of the Shepard tabletop illusion was named "Best Illusion of the Year" for ...

In classic Tay fashion, there are plenty of details to spiral over as the camera pans through these rooms, including several teeny-tiny photos on the walls, which fans wasted no time zooming in on ...
In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms (the term rhomboid is also sometimes used with this meaning). By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square. [a] Three equivalent definitions of parallelepiped are a hexahedron with three pairs of parallel faces,
