Description
Publisher's Description of Optical Illusions (Let's Experiment)
Optical illusions happen when we perceive something that's not there or
that appears to differ from reality. Scientists divide them into three
different categories: optical, perceptual, and cognitive. Readers will
be delighted to learn how all kinds of optical illusions work and how
they can amaze their friends with the experiments in this entertaining
volume. They'll learn how to make a sequence of drawings seem to come to
life, how to make a drawing appear 3D, how to draw the “impossible”
Penrose triangle, and much, much more. All activities and experiments
are explained step by step through comprehensible and accessible text.
