Ultra-Cool: Optical Illusion Albert Einstein & Marilyn Monroe

July 24th, 2008 Posted By Bash.

Dude…whoa…heh heh…I’d have to say that is one of the best optical illusions I’ve seen.

Anyone care to try and explain it?

    that’s the proof that Marilyn wasn’t a blonde :idea:

    this phenomene is “Anamorphose”, it’s a distorsion of a pic with a curve mirror

    though I suppose that the parametres of the both portraits have been registred with ‘HTML’ (?) languages in order to give this optical illusion

    Guess? Graduated Pixel Sizes?

    Large pizels for distance?

    Small pixels for closeness?

    For those that cannot get 15′ away, try making a super-tight pinhole with your finger and thumb. Get back 6′-8′ to see the effect.

    Just blur your eyes to see Marilyn. The effect occurs becuase Albert’s features are drawn in lighter tones that you can only see with good eyesight. Marilyn’s features are drawn in darker tones that are visible from further away. So if you can blur out the lighter tones of Albert, all you see is the darker tones of Marilyn. They both share the same general outline and shape of face, so the effect is complete.

    So Ol’ Al was a cross dresser?

    The devil is in the details.
