Dragon optical illusion
Jul 04
This is a wonderful optical illusion. This seemingly ordinary paper dragon looks well… ordinary, But when you move around, the dragon’s head seems to follow you around the room.
This little dragon is from: GrandIllusions.
Have a look at the video, to see for yourself. The effect is really outstanding.
Here is an explanation on how it works:
If we move around when viewing a solid object, our brain knows how the object we are looking at should behave. However the dragon gives us the wrong clues, because we mis-interpret what its shape is. We assume that the dragon’s nose is pointing out towards us, but in fact the dragon’s head is concave.
Below is a copy of the dragon illusion to try it out for yourself, click on the image to view it full size, save it, print it out on a peice of board paper and cut, fold and paste it as the instructions say!
