Anamorphic Optical Illusions

What is Anamorphosis? It is basically the distorted projection using perspective as the key factor to reconstruct an image that appears different if looked from some other view angle or perspective.

Anamorphic Illusions constitute the properties of Anamorphosis and thus the name. These illusions can be natural occurring and can be clicked from a specific point of angle or can even be created by illusionists or artists. Here, we present you with some of the popular anamorphic illusions. Do share if you like them.

Anamorphic Optical Illusions #1 - Amazing Public Staircase Art

At first look it may come across your mind that someone has photoshopped the picture to make a fake illusion. But what if we tell you that this picture has been taken at the Bayview subway station in Toronto and it is a real life public illusion art? The art is certainly stunningly impressive. We all can see a staircase that goes from the floor to the middle of the wall. However what we perceive as a 3D object is merely a 2D drawing over the wall and floor to make an illusion. The artist is definitely great.

Anamorphic Optical Illusions #8 - Amazing Dinner Table

Difficulty Popularity

This illusion is a bit different than the other illusions. Yes it is art but not in the same manner in which you have seen other anamorphic illusions. What you see is a face but if you concentrate, you can find out that the face is made up of various things that lie on the dining table; be it eggs, cutlery or the wine bottles. The things have been arranged to give an illusion that there is a face that is lying above the table. This illusion might not work from a different perspective angle though.

But then, it is a stunningly real 3d anamorphic artwork in reality. Whoever has created this illusion surely deserves a bow from us.
