Cool illusion!

Here's what seems to be a very cool optical illusion. A better known one using the same principle is
the hollow face illusion. I was just wondering if the little dragon one works as well in real life
as it does on the video. I can't verify it since my printer is not working for some obscure reason.

If anyone could check it out and download the PDF file and print and try it it would be great! I'm very
curious! You should watch the video link on the page first.

So here the link:

And if you're interested here's the original hollow face one:

Waiting to hear some reports...

I'm gonna try that on Monday (better quality printer and paper at work)

Thanks for the link - this sort of thing is amazing. I am looking forward to seeing how well this works for real!

Thanks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad71.gif

You just wasted an hhour of my time. I especially liked the ... heck, I liked them all.

That's a cool illusion but mine doesn't do it near as well as the one in the video.

WooHoo! Just made the dragon and it is w-a-y cool. Gotta close one eye to make it pop out at you.

I put mine on a shelf high up near the ceiling and I don't need to close an eye to see the illusion. I should put it in the entrance of our house, our neighbors would never return after seeing that /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/aaa.gif

Finally got mine to work. It's very cool, and distracting. I put it up high in a shelf so when people walk by they get freaked out. Perty coo'.

I'm glad you guys liked it. I'm probably the only one that haven't seen it yet... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I need to fix that printer...

Mine sort of works. I'd rather look at the one in the video, it seems to work heaps better.....

Ohhhhhh yeah...it works! Cool! Thanks!!

Sweet!

I will be printing this dragon out tomorrow.

Why is it that some works and some don't? I save the jpg file of the dragon and its blue, the video shows a green dragon, could it be the colour?

Maybe they're making it wrong? Mine definitely works and its pretty sweet. I have it sitting on a shelf in my kitchen now. The only problem that I'm having is making it look at you and still have a decent amount of 'swing' arc. So, its a compromise. I'll have to find someone with a better printer so I can make more. Definitely cool.

Oh, and I highly suggest that you print at least two copies. One color and one b&w to use as a guide.
