8 mind-blowing optical illusions that everybody perceives differently

Optical illusions are known for their confusing nature. There are some that make use of how we see light. Others make use of our abilities to differentiate between colors.

However, all of today’s optical illusions have one thing in common: nobody seems to be able to agree on what they look like! So take a look at them and tell us what you see in these mind-boggling pictures:

The Optical Illusions

1. Find The Cat

In 2016, @waterhauler first shared this picture on Reddit. Do you think you can spot the cat lazing around?

2. The Astonishing Floor

Do you think the floor needs to be repaired? Or is it just the light playing tricks on your eyes?

3. The Astonishing Floor 2

Here is one more strange illusion, but it is actually just a carpet!

4. The Hole In The Arm

This person’s tattoo makes it look like his arm has a hole in it. Quite a smart one, if we say so.

5. Troxler’s Effect

This picture makes an awesome claim: stare at it for about 30 seconds, and it will disappear! We actually tested it, and yes, it does vanish! It is a great illustration of Troxler’s fading circle.

6. The Colorful Circles

The question is simple: what color are the circles? In 2018, University of Texas professor Dr. David Novick created this picture. It did not take long to be viral on Twitter. You will be amazed to know that every single circle is the same color!

7. Who is who?

In May of 2018, Twitter saw this snapshot go viral. It seemingly shows two colleagues enjoying a hug. But, at first glance, the man seems to be wearing skinny pants and shoes. Actually, it is the woman’s attire.

8. Find The Cat 2

There is another cat hidden behind the stripes. Can you find it? The optical illusion becomes much easier to spot if you zoom out.

How Did You Fare?
