That is awesome. I can't wait to see the STL files people make so we can all print them up!
Meanwhile, here is a single mirror illusion STL file and a video showing off how similar illusions work https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1970522 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1970522 You can play with the STL in 3D and get a bit of an idea of how it works.
- weird_user 3y agoI think you misunderstood this. This is not an illusion of objects from different angles, but an unintuitive transformation of geometry.
- MattRix 3y agoThey didn’t misunderstand. If you look at the images included in the paper (this link has them inline: https://journalofillusion.net/index.php/joi/article/view/9839/16405 https://journalofillusion.net/index.php/joi/article/view/983...) you can see that it is an illusion that can be created with 3D printed objects.
- jameshart 3y agoThe linked STL is a different Kokichi Sugihara illusion - by the same creator as this new class of illusions, and part of a body of work in this field that this appears to be a continuation of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokichi_Sugihara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokichi_Sugihara
- codeflo 3y agoBut it is. Those are objects that are mirror symmetric, and the apparent direction they're facing depends on viewing angle, creating the illusion that they haven't actually been mirrored.
