Optical illusions are puzzles made up of mind-bending pictures that frequently hide something in plain sight. They are described as a visual phenomenon where our brain perceives something different from reality. They can fool us into thinking things aren't really there, or they can trick our eyes into seeing things that don't exist.
In ancient times, people alluded to these optical illusions as witchcraft, demons, or evil spirits. Later, scientists discovered that our brains play tricks on us and it all happens because of different perceptions. Optical illusion pictures are often created using simple shapes such as triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, etc. These shapes are then arranged in various ways to create the illusion. The goal is to see what isn't really there or hiding in plain sight. Are you ready for a tough challenge that will blow your mind? Let’s go!
