The Floating Square
What do you see?
The glowing lines create depth cues that make the square appear to float in front of the pattern.
Expanding Rings
What seems to happen when you stare at the center?
High-contrast radial patterns trick your visual system into perceiving motion and expansion.
Impossible Triangle
What is this figure called?
The Penrose triangle is an impossible object that tricks the brain into perceiving a continuous shape that cannot exist in three-dimensional space.
Geometric Distortion
What do the straight lines appear to do?
The background interference tricks your brain into perceiving curvature, even though the lines are straight.
Shimmering Colors
What seems to happen?
High-contrast patterns can trigger color perception and shimmer effects even when no color is present.
Forced Perspective
What seems unusual about the two figures?
Forced perspective tricks your brain into interpreting depth cues, making identical objects appear different in size.
Ambiguous Image
What do you see in the image?
This classic illusion plays with figure-ground perception — you may see either two faces or a vase depending on what your brain prioritizes.
Rotating Circles
What seems to happen when you stare at the circles?
Small contrast changes and radial patterns can trick your motion detectors, making static circles appear to rotate.
Warped Squares
What appears unusual about the squares?
Slight rotations and spacing distortions make the squares appear warped, even though they follow a regular pattern.
Bulging Grid
What do the squares appear to do?
Background interference and tilt distortions make the squares appear to bulge, even though they’re aligned.
Tilted Bars
What do the bars appear to do?
Diagonal background stripes trick your perception, making the straight bars seem tilted to the right.
Ripple Squares
What does the grid appear to do?
Subtle distortions in the alignment of the squares create the illusion of ripples spreading across the grid.
Blue Vortex Compression
What do the lines in the vortex appear to do?
Curved blue and white lines arranged in a spiral create the illusion that the whole pattern is compressing inward.
White–Blue Tilt Maze
How do the vertical bars in the maze appear?
The diagonal blue and white background stripes make the straight bars look as if they tilt left and right.
Blue Radiant Starburst
What does the center of the starburst appear to do?
High-contrast blue and white rays trick the eye into seeing a pulsing, radiant center.
Dual-Layer Drift Rings
How do the two sets of rings appear to move?
Slight offsets and alternating blue–white tones make the concentric rings seem to drift relative to one another.
Blue–White Zigzag Warp
What do the zigzag lines appear to do?
Repeating blue and white zigzags create a strong impression of bulging and twisting, even though the lines are regular.
Floating Blue Cubes
What is true about the size of the cubes?
Background gradients and perspective cues make identical blue cubes appear to float at different sizes and depths.
Blue Spiral Ladder
What does the spiral ladder appear to do?
The twisted blue–white steps create an impossible path that seems to rise and fall simultaneously.
White–Blue Mirage Stripes
How do the horizontal stripes appear?
Subtle shifts in blue and white stripe thickness make the lines look like shimmering waves in hot air.
