Optical Illusion: Einstein or Harry Potter?

posted on 05 Nov 2007 09:59 by sugusxoxo

I saw this optical illusion at the MIT museum in Cambridge, at first I didn’t understand how it worked. Later as I walked to the end of the room, I saw that someone had switched the drawings!

As I walked closer, they magically reverted back to Albert Einstein.

A trick? Nah, it was just an illusion!

STEP 1: Eight Portraits
Here’s what you see what you’re far away, it looks like 8 different portraits!

Optical Illusion (see large image version to compare)

How did this work? When our eyes see the details when we get closer, it changes our perception of the image!

I shared this with many of my friends including my buddy Neil.

Update: From the comments, we should take time to credit Aude Oliva, Ph.D. who is the creator of this fine work. I had a great time visiting the MIT museum and encourage you to check it out too!

British geniuses feature heavily in a recent list that notes the greatest living thinkers of our time - proportionately more than any other country.

The top 100 living geniuses was compiled by a panel of six experts in creativity and innovation from Creators Synectics, a global consultants firm.

The company emailed 4,000 Britons this summer and asked them to nominate up to 10 living people who they considered geniuses.

Each genius was then awarded scores out of ten against criteria which included: paradigm shifting; popular acclaim; intellectual power; achievement and cultural importance.
