nature is full of creatures that masquerade as uninteresting or inedible objects. But the moth’s use of structural coloration to create a 3D illusion pushes the boundaries of what scientists ...

Yet, world-renowned illusion researcher Kokichi Sugihara ... formulae to prove the existence of “impossible objects”: 3D recreations of illustrations representing geometric motion that cannot ...

Medical imaging experts are adept at solving common optical illusions, according to new research. The research is the first to show that people can be trained to do better at solving visual illusions, ...

But that movement is an illusion. And it all relies on a trick ... Kevin's systems use 3D objects, but zoetropes with 2D images have actually been around for a long time. Kevin Holmes: 3D ...

creating the illusion of constant motion. There’s more than one way to use a 3D printer to create a zoetrope, and we doubt we would have ever thought of this one that squashes four dimensions ...

To achieve this, the discs were 3D printed, along with a central housing containing two 12 volt gear motors. 3D printed gears are used to allow both discs to rotate about the same axis.

but Patrick Hughes' mind-boggling 3D art takes the concept to a whole other level. Hughes uses a style he created called "reverspective," painting uncanny optical illusions of a rooms with an ...
