Yes, there is someone hiding in this optical. Only the the very observant will see. It's a bit scary.

Audi Optical Illusions

Car manufacturers seem to like optical illusions. We have recently had the Honda video with some great tricks and here is an older advert from Audi attempting the same. Perhaps its the same agency. Which one do you prefer?

All we have here is a red square turning on a black and white spoked wheel, but we find it mesmerising and the square looks all irregular.

Glass Crossed Cube

If you made a cube and you then drew a cross on each side from corner to corner. It would look a bit like the cube above. But if you made the same cube out of perfectly clear glass and put the same crosses on each side it would look like the animation on the right. Cool eh! 

The animation was produced by the guys of at Bees & Bombs and you should definitely check out their website.

Island in the sky

Picture
"There is an ethereal, otherworldly feeling to this photograph, as this little island in the middle of Tumuch Lake in northern British Columbia appears as if it's floating in the clouds," says Shane Kalyn, who submitted this photo to the National Geographic Traveller Photo Contest. "To bring us back to Earth, a fish has left a ripple in the water on the left-hand side of the shot. The scene was amazing to witness, let alone be lucky enough to photograph—totally the right place at the right time." Via Tumuch Lake Picture

This illusion will make your eyes go funny. But it is definitely worth the trouble. Just stare at the beating heart at the center of the grid. Count 30 beats then look at the back of your hand for a few seconds. Wow!

Moving Stuff Optical Illusion

I saw this illusion on the internet and found it immediately striking. The patterns were moving all over the place really strongly. I have been looking at this type of illusion for many years and have even produced some myself, and I have noticed that they are not always as striking to everybody, some get it some don't. Also they are not always the same to me, one day they are strong the next not so much. I must do a Spy Blog about it one day.
Anyway I do not know who designed this one, so if you do let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. - Spyman

If both cars leave at the same time and travel at exactly the same speed, which will get to its respective chequered flag first? You guessed it, they both would arrive at the same time as both tracks are equal length.

This three handed automaton is made soley from wood. It was manufactured by Peirs Heldorf and exhibited in the Pers Mechanical Cabinet room in Sweden. The articles are all inspired by Christopher Polhem, an 18th century inventor. How it moves the ball is anyone's guess!
