DDDDDD: LITTLE PEOPLE GROW INTO BIG PEOPLE? NOT IN MY REALITY!

the ball remained the same size :)

The other thing is if you want to sell that room illusion, both subjects must turn slightly toward their left and look straight ahead as if they are looking at each other along a parallel line of sight. Then, if you use the ball you still have to maintain the posture that suggests the ball is coming from your twelve o'clock position.

For this illusion to maintain itself properly, there can be no transfer between the two parties. The ball is a transitioning object that destroys the proximal bearing perceived by the eye.

Great video if it wasn't MILES out of sync...

@TodaSyo I do remember a study of Aborigionies in Australia where they had a hard time seeing things in photographs- even pictures of mountians, because they didn't have practice with strongly foreshortened vision. I can see how if you weren't used to walls you'd see this illusion very differently.

@SB20330 lol the guys an idiot. its not grotesque, its a perfectly normal trapezoidal room. it only looks grotesque because of the way the peephole is situated and designed in which we look through it. its where it limits our binocular depth perception and monocular linear perspective. along with the distortion of the sizes of the objects like the window and the clock, shape constancy of the room is maintained while size constancy is sacrificed. lol sorry i just to geek out there :P

lol when she rolled that ball at 1:08...it gives the illusion away SOO BADLY.

badass

@lostinaspoonofpeas ahh my friend that is the beauty of an illusion. it always stays consistently strong as it was before, no matter how many times we see it. its always misinterpreted as it constantly differs from objective reality. its a distortion.

Rrrrrrrrrrresolve. Trrrrrrrrrrick. Rrrrrrrrroom. lol

So if we were born into thinking that walls did not look parallel or not even knowing what a room looks like at all then the room would appear different to our eyes than it does now?

@TodaSyo , the assumption of the parralel walls is not that strong there, i think.

all tis is making me hungury

scientifically not explained well enough. zero marks out of three for your explanation for how the room creates the illusion.

For some reason I can't see this illusion? I mean, I can see that the person on one side appears bigger, but when I look at the room, I can see that it's changed, altered, or structured in a way that the person being bigger makes sense? Hm...

must be better when the guy in the bigger image will show his dick and the smaller gril will freak out ... hahaha

Another change to the youTube interface to the worse? Man, this place used to rock. They completely destroyed it. Thanks a lot, Google.

yes, this reminds me of that scene in Willy Wonka where the room got smaller and smaller... This really helped explain that illusion.

looks like stairs

the woman is an awful tosser.

обязательно такую себе сделаю:))

hehe...yup, thats true!

I imagine it's safe to assume that the windows contributed as well.
