Amazing Picture

Solar Bell · 02-06-2006, 05:45 PM

Does anyone know how it works?

Amazing!!!
(Sorprendente !!!: Mira a la derecha el tipo jovial y a la izquierda el malhumorado. Párate y saparate unos seis pasos de la computadora, mira las imágenes de nuevo: han cambiado de lugar )

If you watch the above images from your seat in front of the computer,
Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calm is on the right.
Get up from your seat, and move back about eight feet!! They switch places!!
I believe this illusion was created by Phillippe G. Schyns and Aude Oliva of the
Univ. of Glasgow

This proves that we may not be seeing what's actually there, all the time!!

I do not know how they generated this fascinating image, and I believe no-one
else is able to generate anything similar in Photoshop. I know it has something
to do with "low-pass" and "high-pass" filters, but the details??

That is pretty cool! I have no idea how it works.

Heh, all I have to do is take my glasses off, close my good eye, and move my head back about 6 inches and it works.

lol.

That's neat.

Whoa dude! Fascinating....

It also works if you soften your glaze without moving away at all. Dang, that's weird!

Many years ago, I attended a lecture by Dr. Thomas Banchoff, a math professor at Brown, computer graphics expert, and friend of Salvador Dali. Dali's art has many instances of images like this - you see one thing up close and something completely different at a distance.

When asked how, in terms of graphics, Dali could accomplish this, Banchoff stated that Dali had evolved as a master of juxtaposing colors and images that up close looked one way, but at a distance combined and redefined the image.

I suspect if you look at the pixel densities and distributions in the above image, you see the same kind of thing.
