They also tend to implicitly make viewers aware that their sensory apparatus is doing something strange, because people aren't structured to only answer those single questions.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoNot all of them. Some illusions are structured like relatively "normal" images, so unless you explicitly draw attention to the issue, people will just accept what they see and move on. See e.g. tower on a chessboard, or blue/pink dress thing.
- Lorkki 9y agoI see the tower on a chessboard as more of an illustration than an illusion, the point being that we don't really observe absolute colour because it's not terribly useful for making sense of space (which is what sight is for). The dress is sort of a variation on the same theme, except it divides people by how they extrapolate the rest of the scene.
- Retric 9y agoPlenty of illusions don't seem strange. Ex: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebbinghaus_illusion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebbinghaus_illusion
