Keeping it Geeky

Optical Illusions!

Here are a few websites with some classic optical illusions, some cool twists on old favorites and a few I've never seen before.

http://www.123opticalillusions.com/ pretty much the basics but the Glass Tessseract Animation is super cool and here are a few cool updates:
Realistic Dice Illusion Schematics Confusion

http://www.echalk.co.uk/amusements/opticalillusions/illusions.htm this website has some that are a tad more interactive.  They help you see how the illusions work.  Check out the Mona Lisa and the breathing shapes illusion to start.


Finally to get an in depth explanation of how these illusions work on our brain (for the true geeks) check out Mind Lab.
