Optical illusion of the tower of Pisa, is the image on the right more tilted? It is a lie
For definition, an illusion is any image that “confuses” our visual perception. Many of these illusions are difficult to categorize, and even the cause of the effect we see is difficult to pinpoint and understand. For this reason the day for them they study the next day to decipher their mysteries.
Today we want to show you theoptical illusion of the tower of Pisa (which you can see as always at the bottom of the news). In the image two identical towers are depicted and located in the same position. However, during the observation we will be led to believe that, in reality, the tower on the right is slightly more inclined than the one on the left. In reality this is not the case.
Why does this effect occur? Simply because our visual system treats the two images as if they were part of a single scene. If the two adjacent towers rise at the same angle, their image outlines converge as they move away from view due to perspective. Incredible, right? You haven’t seen the illusion of the moving image.
It is not about the perspective, but the way in which the visual system tends to treat two images side by side as if they were part of the same scene. In short, a certainly incredible effect that shows us, among many things, the “limits” of our visiting system and, above all, of the brain. Speaking of which, here’s an optical illusion that will surprise you: a self-repairing grille.
