Seeing Is Not Always Believing

Optics & Eye Health

★Exhibit Content: Comprehensive science popularization of multi-module classic geometric optical illusions ★Interaction: Mechanical interactive experience ★Operation: 1. Push the stainless steel sliding rod and observe the visual distortion of straight lines under different backgrounds (perspective/interference patterns); 2. Compare the difference between visual perception and actual measurement to intuitively verify the mechanism of geometric optical illusions. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a main frame, acrylic high-definition UV-printed panels with multiple sets of geometric optical illusion patterns, a stainless steel sliding rod + mechanical transmission structure, etc. It integrates two classic types of geometric optical illusions: perspective/background interference and background line distortion. Through the slidable mechanical structure, visitors can manually control the relative position of straight lines and the background, intuitively verifying the principle of optical illusions. Recommended exhibit for KexMall exhibit mall. ★Scientific Principle: The exhibit integrates two classic types of geometric optical illusions: 1. Perspective/background interference illusions: Straight lines are perceived as tilted or distorted under the interference of perspective backgrounds (such as trapezoids, radial lines); 2. Background line distortion illusions: Straight lines are perceived as curved or distorted when overlaid with background patterns such as concentric rings and radial lines (e.g., Orbison illusion, Poggendorff illusion, etc.). This illusion is essentially a subjective perceptual bias produced by the brain when processing visual information, influenced by background interference, perspective experience, visual contrast, and other factors. It intuitively reveals the visual science rule that "seeing is not necessarily believing," helping visitors understand the subjectivity and limitations of visual perception.
