A Few Optical Illusions For Your Sins

MRHP has several of it's many long fingers stuck in the pies of psychology, art and design. And we have always been a fan of a few optical illusions take a peak, the first one is definitely my favourite. Enjoy!!



Which horizontal line is longer A or B?


The Ames Room, is there really a giant?


Are all the red lines parallel?

Many people often ask what is the point to these optical illusions, are they just gimmicky and interesting to look at. Well in fact they can tell psychologists a great deal about how our visual perception works and about objection recognition. Oh and A and B are both the same in case you didn't guess, in the Ames room both people are the same size one kid is just further away than the other and all the red lines are in fact parallel. Huh!
