BrainLock Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 The face rotates 180 degrees, you are looking at the back side of the model when it does this ... but still appears to be the front. I think that's called the Hollow Face Illusion. In college I saw something similar. A woman made a mold of her face. Then she then photographed the interior of the mold and achieved the same effect. When looking at a 2D representation of a 3D object, the brain translates the clues to see what should be "normal." Sometimes it's wrong. There is another illusion like yours that people make with paper dragon sculpture and video cameras. Someone duplicated it with AM. When the camera moves around, it looks like the dragon moves its head. Read about it and download it here: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...6&hl=dragon Quote
