Best Optical Illusion of the Year Contest

Posted by samzenpus on from the stare-at-the-center dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The 7th annual 'Best illusion of the year contest' was held by the Neural Correlate Society last week in Florida, and it featured 10 fantastic visual illusions selected from a pool of over 150 submissions. The site has demos of the illusions that made the finals, with brief explanations about what each illusion tells us about the visual system. Some might be important for the design of video displays and animations."

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

    iPads, iPods and iPhones are not computer related, they're consumer electronics. iTunes is crummy software, Quicktime is crummy software. If you don't have an Apple COMPUTER you would think Apple only writes crummy software. If they write crummy software, why would you use their OS? It's probably crummy.

    Not that I believe that, but to a layperson it might appear that way.
