Tech Post #12-Optical Illusions

Hello, again, blog readers!

I was recently browsing the Internet and I happened upon some interesting optical illusions on Youtube. These illusions were just pieces of paper with lines on them to make images. When you slide a piece of tranparent paper with more black lines on it over these pieces of paper, it looks like an animation. You have to get the lines right or else the illusion doesn't work. I found it crazy how a piece of paper with lines on it (that look like no absolute image whatsoever) can trick your eyes so well. I don't know how to get the video on here, but check out Youtube and type in "Optical Illusions Animation" in the search bar.
