Title Description
Dots Optical Illusion The orginal black dots optical illusion has 12 dots, but due to the way the illusion is made you cannot see all dots at the same time. This applet was created to experiment if different number of rows and differnt color of dots helped you guess how many dots there were in the illusion.
Optical Illusion: Color Wheel An applet about how we precieve color. A color wheel is presented with many differnt colors, but when turning up the speed the colors create a magenta color that isn't even there.
Pyramid Illusion This applet starts with a single square and begins to build a pyarmid, in which a square is stacked on top of another, darker square. As more squares are added there begins a light x to appear, which does not exsist.
Adelson's Checker Shadows skew our persception of color. This applet show this idea with a checker board and two different colored spots, or so you think. With further discovery you see that the two spots are in fact the same color.
T-Illusion The inverted T-Illusion applet lets you discover how vertical length and horizontal length is precieved diffently.
