iPhone 5 Spoof

This is not an illusion but just a funny Spoof. iPhone 5, Apple increased the iPhone's screen size from 3.5" to 4" diagonally, over its previous iteration. The handset's width has, however, remained the same. According to Apple, it is designed that way to keep the iPhone 5 operable with one hand. Based on this, the guys at Satire have taken a jab at Apple with a spoof video — where Apple executives explain the advantages of an unusually elongated iPhone. The creators of this clip (below) don't miss out on anything — Panorama mode, the improved FaceTime (which becomes BottomTime), and a solution for weak network reception. If you need one more reason to check out the video, there's NASA Mohawk Guy at 0:39.

Faces Everywhere : Images that looks like face

Do you also sometimes have the feeling that you're being watched? And when you look around, nobody is there. Maybe because sometimes faces are on places where you least expect it. When you look at an object, it can look like a face too.

One Way Mirror Toilet

Imagine what it would be like to be in this public restroom, covered with one way mirror walls. :D

"Giant Skeletons" Fuel Web Hoax

The story published (last image) in the March 2007 issue of India's Hindu Voice monthly claims that a National Geographic Society team helped make the "discovery" in India. (The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)

The picture, however, is an innocent fake.

The image was lifted from Worth1000, a Web site that hosts contests for digital artists. Created by an artist using the alias IronKite, the picture placed third in a 2002 competition titled "Archaeological Anomalies 2," which asked contestants to create a hoax archaeological discovery.
Man, this guy gets around! said IronKite who does not want his real name used in this story after hearing his work had been used to back up the latest false reports.

The third image, created by Amaranto, appears to be a less than serious attempt at a hoax note the huge revolver in the skeleton's hand.

African Shop Illusion

Below is a shop in Burkina Faso, in Africa. The owner seems to be looking for customers, but it seems like there is nothing interesting in his collection of bowls and buckets, or are we missing something. If we were to move a few steps towards our left, we can see something really interesting! Can you see it now? All the items, the straw roof, and the tree branch form the face of a man. The multi-coloured items on top form his hat, and his nose and mouth are to the right.

Café Wall Illusion


The café wall illusion, sometimes also called the Münsterberg illusion (Ashton Raggatt McDougall 2006), is an optical illusion produced by a black and white rectangular tessellation when the tiles are shifted in a zigzag pattern, as illustrated above. While the pattern seems to diverge towards the upper and lower right corners in the upper figure, the gray lines are actually parallel. Interestingly, the illusion greatly diminishes if black lines are used instead of gray.

Gregory and Heard (1979) first noticed the illusion on the wall decoration of a café in Bristol, England. The café wall illusion is only one among many visual distortion effects involving parallel lines. The most famous example of this kind is Zöllner's illusion.

The image above shows a picture of a building in Melbourne, Australia designed to exhibit this illusion (C. L. Taylor, pers. comm., Aug. 5, 2006). The building, completed in 2006, is part of Melbourne's Digital Harbour Port 1010 and houses the Australian Customs Service (Ashton Raggatt McDougall 2006).

Garbage Shadow Illusion

Partners in both life and art, Tim Noble (1966) and Sue Webster (1967) explore the toxic influences of consumer culture through new modes of portraiture. Turning garbage into complex and visually arresting sculptural installations, Noble and Webster exploit, manipulate and transform base materials, often using self-portraiture to undermine the "celebrated" authorship of the artist. This artwork is called "Dirty White Trash", Six months' worth of the artists' rubbish.


Public Art at Cardiff Bay barrage UK

Swiss artist Felice Varini and his team created an unusual piece of public art that is set to baffle and fascinate visitors to Cardiff Bay barrage.A series of three yellow ellipses have been painted onto the working locks, gates and even the outer sea wall to create a piece that took a year to plan.

From virtually every angle the marks look like splashes of yellow colour against the backdrop of the Penarth headland and the Bristol channel.But on closer inspection visitors to the Barrage are treated to a visual spectacle featuring three perfectly formed yellow ellipses.
All you have to do to see Felice Varini's 'Anamorphic illusion' properly formed, like in the below picture, is find a precise vantage point somewhere on the barrage.

The piece, entitled 3 Ellipses for 3 Locks, was commissioned by arts agency CBAT for the Cardiff Harbour Authority and cost £25,000.The artist used photography, projection and painting to plan the piece which is his first in Wales and also his first work in the UK.
