COOL! Optical Illusions...


Friend and design colleague at Circle – Robert L. Peters, has an uncanny knack for coming across cool things... here's a taste, excerpted from his latest blog post:

If you’re into visual illusion and optical phenomena, you’ll want to see the work of Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto. But be warned… his site “contains some works of ‘anomalous motion illusion,’ which might make sensitive observers dizzy or sick (e.g. epileptic seizures, which can happen if the brain can’t handle conflicting information from your two eyes). Should you feel dizzy, you had better leave immediately….”


If you're curious, you can see the optical illusions for yourself here.
You can visit Rob's blog at www.robertlpeters.com - enjoy!
