Cool Optical Illusion (Have You Seen This One?)

[arwalden]

Do you remember the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Dr Jekyll, the famous scientist, is not all he seems, and the other side of his character - Mr Hyde - is, you will recall, a distinctly nasty piece of work.

Continuing the idea of the two sides of the human character, have a look at the picture above. On the left is Dr Angry, and on the right is Mr Calm.

Now, back away from your computer screen. This effect will work at different distances for different people, but you should see the two characters swap over...! As you come closer to the screen again, they revert to their original characters. Spooky or what!

1. Weird.

But every time I kept looking down, Mr. Calm would pop his eyeballs out at me.

[Deja Q]

2. Maybe he really likes you!

:rofl:

3. Hah.

And I still can't look at the dancing bender without giggling madly.

4. Meh. Doesn't work for me.

You must have EXCELLENT vision. When I removed my eyeglasses it made the effect a little more obvious.

Wild.

8. It finally shifted for me...

but I had to go around 20 feet (no joke) away from my screen for it to happen! Thankfully I am in a very l-o-n-g room. :)

That's pretty wierd.

9. is it just me, or does the calm face seem feminine while

the angry face seems be more masculine?

10. One is feminine and one is not, and if you just squint your eyes you'll

get the same results--without moving away from the image.

11. that is cool

had to walk across my office to see it
