MIGHT be?!?

[lashbear]

I saw the boat first ! :p

[Moonliner]

So the joke is that there really is no boat in the background. I get it. Funny.

[Gn2Dlnd]

These 3D things never work for me.

[JWBear]

I saw the boat first ! :p

So did I.... Then I shrieked in horror.

What? you mean the Giant Clam? Pshaw, there's one in the Nemo Subs, isn't there? Wuss !

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

[lashbear]

The one parked behind the Giant clam and those two buoys.

sure as 773H worked for me :evil:

[Cadaverous Pallor]

The people in the boat can't see the boat either

Not nearly as fun as the one in the OP, but fun none-the-less.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink.

However if you stare at the black "+" in the centre, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black "+" in the centre of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

Does God have a bugzilla?

[Capt Jack]

lets not gloss over the 'boat' thing quite yet. I still dont see it

[Melonballer]

Maybe the word boat is a now another word for "woman in a bikini"?

I like the rotating dot illusion, though the pink dots don't entirely disappear for me. The moving one does turn green, which is fascinating. I'm guessing it has something to do with eye fatigue.

Still cool.

The turning green part is not the illusion. It really does turn green.

[Ghoulish Delight]

No it doesn't.

[Kevy Baby]

No it doesn't.Yes it does; your monitor just may not be calibrated properly.




Just like the boat in the OP.

[Cynthia]

Kevy - very cool, reminds me of art school

[Gn2Dlnd]

Art's cool what? Boat?

Never saw it.

Just a pink dot.

[lashbear]

not a pink triangle?

[Alex]

That illusion is in "Impossible" at Blackpool Pleasure Beach - you walk towards it down a corridor and the change happens before your eyes.

OOh - that sounds neat. I love optical illusions and a big one you can walk "into" sounds cool.

ow

[Alex]

Interesting. If I look at it through my eyelashes, the illusion goes away completely.

[Kevy Baby]

That statement is a cranial disillusion

[Ghoulish Delight]

Nothing particularly new in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dJyvcNmYwr4), but "well" presented.

"That's because you're eyes at stupid-o's for breakfast".

The cafe wall illusion.

All of these horizontal lines are parallel. And the only difference between the top image (which probably looks more askew to you) and the bottom is the shading of the lines separating each row.
