Castle Illusion

[plokij]

Wow it actually does work. Pretty cool too :)

I went a lil dizzy though lol

[Killersenic]

Holy Shit, It scared the Hell outta me, there goes my drink into my pants. I wasnt expecting a screamer even though it said it wasnt.:eek: :eek:

[Gish]

yeah I'm pretty sick of all these screamers, arrgh! :banghead:

[DarcSystems]

it's like....not a screamer ...

[Franzman]

OMG, I wasn't prepared for that... Omg... :uhoh:

[Fugitive]

Best illusion I've seen to date!! Not a screamer.... ffs....

[Franzman]

Don't believe him, It's the worst fucking screamer yet... I almost pissed myself. :ohnoes:

[djrem]

lol. "is it a screamer?"

Its not even a flash file.

twats.

ANyway, Best illusion ever. Had to move the mouse to double check the 2nd pic was in black and white.

Works so well :)

[Slid3r]

you don't actually have to look at the dot for 30 seconds. If you look at it for five you will get the same effect.

Not a screamer

[Joey-Clemenza]

Pretty impressive.

[Refuse]

Yeah, this is actually pretty cool.
I'd play along with the screamer joke and all but this is just too neat.

[Dash2k3]

this isn't even an optical illusion. look at the page source, they just use a silly onmouseover key to swap the image when you.... mouse over. there are two images. colorillusion and colorillusion2. there is no illusion, just two diff pics =P

edit: i stand corrected. good illusion.

[VietExpression]

Its A Fucking Screamer

No... try again.
Do what it tells you to do and if you still don't catch on then you're color blind.
The illusion requires two different pictures to work.

[Snake530]

idk if its a screamer and an illusion...but its definitly at least an illusion
if you're a paranoid fuck like i am, do this, take a screen shot of the colored image (when the mouse if off) and take a screen shot with the black and white image and paste both in paint or somethign (2 different documents...), then do what hte directions say (stare at the colored one, then go to the black and white one) and theres your illusion

[rX_Golem]

I saw it on another site a week ago, still pretty cool.

[drift]

Just scroll your mouse over then it changes, teh best illusion eva.

[FsB_BeN]

the wise asian knows why it works.. but witholds information.

I did what you did, and damn thats a cool illusion

[Norgol]

So F'in Cool...STOP SAYIN STUFF'S A SCREAMER to scare people its just mean.
AND SAY NO TO DRUGS KIDS!!!! YEY!!!

[psychomonkey62]

I did what you did, and damn thats a cool illusion

It's not a screamer, you don't need to go through all that trouble.

[I SNAKED YOU]

its not an illusion, but two pictures pasted on to each other, when your mouse moves over it, the second coloured picture appearers.

no, you dont understand
like, do what the directions say
they arent talking about that
like look at the colored picture, and stare at the dot, then move your mouse and look at the black and white, you'll see...

[Shmoopie]

Wow that was pretty cool.. I'm impressed.

[xdamousex]

The image is a jpeg file so I don't know how it could possibly be a screamer

Anyways I let the thing sit there for a while and nothing happened, so it's definitely not a screamer, kind of a creepy image though

[D-roc]

I actually turned down my speakers even thought its said it wasn't a screamer.

cool shit though.

[jec571]

is it me, or like you just have to stare at it for a second to work

i dunno if its a trick, or my eyes
but if you just go to the black white pic, its color and nice pixels
then it starts fading to black and white and all crappy

[xdamousex]

I think I might understand how the trick works. You know how you can stare at something bright blue, and when you stare at something navy blue it looks black? And how you can stare at something black and the navy blue looks like a lot brighter blue? That colorful picture probably just makes your brain compensate in the same way.

How they figured it out how to do that and what exact colors were needed though I'll never know.

[GimmeGimmeGimme]

the colors of the picture are inverted, i think. the black dot and the inverted colors actually confuses your brain to see the ACTUAL color-scheme of the picture. it's kind of unique.

[Refuse]

Okay, here's the thing.
You have to read the directions.

I swear, if one more person states that it's just two pictures that change when you move the mouse across it, I'm going to fucking point and laugh...

I'm serious! I'll fuckin do it...

[DonQuai]

Yay! One thing I posted ended on the main-page! I feel honored!

:banghead:

I assure you, you're safe. Does that make you feel ok, pumkin?

[wrathchild]

Wow, that is the best illusion I have seen.

[tjgk]

I learned this in, can you believe it, school.
I didn't have my textbook on me, so here is the wikipedia version...

"Afterimages are caused when the eye's photoreceptors, primarily those known as cone cells, adapt from the over stimulation and lose sensitivity.[1] Normally the eye deals with this problem by rapidly moving the eye small amounts, the motion later being "filtered out" so it is not noticeable. However if the color image is large enough that the small movements are not enough to change the color under one area of the retina, those cones will eventually tire and stop responding. The rod cells can also be affected by this.

When the eyes are then diverted to a blank space, the tired photoreceptors send out little signal and those colors remain muted. However, the surrounding cones that were not being excited by that color are still "fresh", and send out a strong signal. The signal is exactly the same as if looking at the opposite color, which is how the brain interprets it. "

so in other words, the first picture creates the "opposite" color on the new picture once you roll over it. (and the last Para of the quote explains why)

so ya cool illusion, best thought out one i've seen in a long time.

[Stoink]

In true Blue Peter style, here's one I made earlier...

http://www.stoink.co.uk/index.php?params=media/167/

The first pic is a negative of the original coloured photo with a black and white image of the photo faded by 50% over the top of it. When this is swapped with the black and white photo (on the mouse over) it makes you see a true negative of the picture, and the negative mixed with the black and white gives you colour, makes no sense, thought not :P

[Schnokes]

Holy cow, that's pretty darn neat.

Scared the hell out of me though, lol, kidding.

[CaptInsano]

Awesome illusion.

Well done man... it worked well.

Second best illusion ever. The best ever, of course, is the LSD Spiral. Anyone who likes illusions, follow these directions. I swear, no screamers, no viruses, it's just really, really amazing.

Go to www.tryptamind.com (that site was linked to from here once, for the vaporization technology part).

Go to the "psychadellic stuff" section and download LSDSpiral.exe (i swear, no viruses, and it's a tiny file)

Run the program and enter 13, 15, and 150 when it asks you. push any key.

Hold down the up key until it's going as fast as it can, and then stare at the center of it for 30 seconds. You should look at it from relatively close, because it only affects the part of your vision it occupies when you stare at it.

Look at something. Be amazed.


The illusion also deals with your brain compensating. Somehow, when you look away, it looks like you're on LSD... not that I've ever done LSD before... erherm... Anyways, everything sort of bubbles and melts and it's a very very strong illusion, you literally won't believe your eyes. Total awesomeness. (perss escape to quit when you're done tripping)

[Ral]

What tjgk said is basically correct. Staring at the dot fixes your field of vision in one place, and the color receptors in your eye get "tired" of the colors they are seeing (overstimulation). So when the stimulation stops (black & white picture), the color receptors are desensitized to those colors and send signals to your brain of the colors' opposites.

You have to keep your gaze fixed on the dot even with the black & white pic so that the area of your retina that has been "burned in" remains mapped to the same spots. If you shift your gaze a bit away from the dot, the color suddenly goes away or fades dramatically.

The negative color image is specifically constructed (probably by an image manip program like Photoshop) to have the exact opposite color from the correct one, so that you see the correct colors in the afterimage.

[Schnokes]

Damnit thegnome54! That scared the piss out of me!!! :ahhh:
j/k
