There is no red in this picture.

Your brain is filling the Red colour.

The picture is made entirely of light blue, black and white.
Zoom in and you'll see.

Optical illusion I found while using KiCad...

all the lines in this picture are straight. But, presumably because of the hashed keep-out zone, the outline of the ESP32 looks tilted. Is there a name for this?

Optical illusion?!?!

So I was experimenting with text stuff, and realized that if I full screen and have this zoomed to fit my screen, that looking from the + to the = and back will make the whole thing look grey!

For the #Genuary24 topic of "Impossible objects (undecided geometry)", I just had to add to my #OpticalIllusion collection. I made an interactive version of Reutersvärd's Triangle. It's the original (and my favorite) version of the later discovered and more widely known Penrose Triangle.

Try it out here:

a differently colored version
The default, greyscale version of the illusion. I like how the negative space forms the star of David in the middle.
Here with things looking a bit flatter, and with the triangles used to reverse the overlap outlined, the method of constructing the illusion is revealed.

Can you read the words embedded in the stones?

Once you see it, you can't not see it.

I wonder if you could feed this image into an AI, see if it can make out the words.

Highly unlikely beaded square.
Not impossible.
Just unlikely.

Weaving seed bead is like playing with a puzzle, and when you solve it, you win jewelry.

I wrote a paper about it here: https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2015/bridges2015-99.pdf #mathart #opticalillusion

With the new faster blur filter in #p5js, It is now possible to integrate it into an interactive #opticalillusion, so that's just what I did over the last few days, with a few I had on my to-do list.

Numbers 9, 24, and 34 are the new ones, with 41 total in the collection.

I didn't understand what was going on with the one with the diamonds until I analyzed the image, recreated it, and played around with it for a while. It's one of the cooler illusions I've come across.

The kitchen sponge illusion, discovered by Koichiro Suzuki, from Kawasaki, Japan. A simple scintillating setup. You can also create a couple of different illusions in different configurations.
The Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet illusion. Each diamond is identical. The triangles are simply cropped diamonds. Yes, really! Run the sketch, play with it, and see for yourself! I didn't believe it either at first.

L'artiste sud-africain Strijdom van der Merwe façonne les matériaux en un art géométrique qui vient compléter l'environnement. Son « escalier vers le paradis » est une illusion d'optique simple mais impressionnante. J'adore 🥰

Illusion d'optique

You might recall my interactive #opticalillusion collection that I've worked on this year. I got stuck on one, then focused on other projects, but I finally made something new and different for it this week. I experimented with a new system I call Dazzle, Tilt, Zigzag, in which I have found several different illusions. They're not new effects, but the compositions are, and the system is fun to play around with. See the alt texts for more details.

The large vertical white and black columns appear to tilt to the left.
The rectangle shapes appear to bulge outwards.
The portions between the blue/green rectangles appear to be different color/brightness than the rest of the purple/orange background

Here's another interesting #opticalillusion I found in it by converting one config of the color variant to grayscale and then increasing the contrast and rotating it. The line grid network seems to be very distorted and wavy to me.

Dans cette illusion d'optique, il y a deux cercles parfaits que votre cerveau "refuse" très prochainement de voir ! 🥰

Dans la deuxième figure, exprès en plus petit pour être lisible, j'ai ajouté deux cercles en noir pour casser l'illusion et confirmer le point précédent.
