I’m curious if this relies on the fact that we’re looking at on pixelated screens to work. But not so curious that I’ll print it out to check.
- Seasoned_Greetings ( @Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee ) 6•4 months ago
I’ve seen this illusion on paper and it still works. Not that printed paper is functionally different from pixels.
- Great Blue Heron ( @GreatBlueHeron@lemmy.ca ) 3•4 months ago
Ha, good point. I’m showing my age here. I understand our modern phone screens have resolution approaching that of good print, but when I think of a screen my brain still defaults to something like a 14" VGA at 57PPI :-)

As far as I know it relies on the fact that you only have clear vision in the central 20% of you FoV, and your brain just makes the rest up. Also the big blind spot
- Krackalot ( @Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de ) 5•4 months ago
I thought it was 2°? A dime held out at arms length if I recall.
- SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) 3•4 months ago
Honestly, idfk. Maybe that’s the blind spot?
Just now looking at things the clear bit of my FoV feels like 20%…which is clearly suuuper scientific. I’m getting ill, and have enough energy to comment on the internet or fact check myself…not both.

Wikipedia says it’s more like +/-1° or about 2° is where you have more cones than rods. +/-10° has elevated cones compared to other parts of your FOV
That being said, not sure how much I trust this graph given that I clearly have a blind spot on the right side for my right eye (temple side) but this marks it as only on the nose side? Unless I’m mistaken
E: am mistaken
- SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) 1•4 months ago
Everyone’s eyes are different. I’m sure there’s a blind spot that’s supposed to be where they say it is, but who’s to say your eyes are exactly like the average eye?
- jjagaimo ( @jjagaimo@lemmy.ca ) English2•4 months ago
The blind spot is where the nerves pass through the retina to reach your optic nerve. I was mistaken; because the image is flipped when it passes through the lens, the nose side has the blind spot but visually the hole is on the temple side, as is shown here

That’s clever as hell. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new illusion.
- Jojo ( @Silentiea@lemm.ee ) 2•4 months ago
I thought the exact same thing. Always fun to find a new way my brain can be tricked.
- ☭ SaltyIceteaMaker ☭ ( @SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi ) 8•4 months ago
Nah fuck that how does that even work
Edit: never mind figured it out: the “random buildings” aren’t random but rather build alternative paths that you only really see in your peripheral vision
- Jojo ( @Silentiea@lemm.ee ) 2•4 months ago
Pretty much any optical illusion that involves “random” patterns actually involves pseudorandom noise, just like adversarial generative networks use tailored pseudorandom noise to fool the discriminator.
- Jojo ( @Silentiea@lemm.ee ) 1•4 months ago
Also I never really thought of it that way, but now I’m imagining all of those “the ai thinks this is a bus” things as alien optical illusions.
- Smorty [she/her] ( @Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 7•4 months ago
Wait what’s the illusion?
- survivalmachine ( @survivalmachine@beehaw.org ) 15•4 months ago
The random-looking black and white “buldings” on each block have some very not random “curves” of contiguous white buildings. When you look at other parts of the image, your peripheral vision may interpret these white curves as the same thing as the perpendicular green “roads”, giving the illusion that the roads are no longer all perpendicular when you look away.

This is rather neat, surprising that you can make a grid look so… squiggly (well, surprising we can make it look that way, I guess)
