This is a wonderful optical illusion. This little dragon is made out of paper - you simply cut it out and stick it together, and stand it on a table. When you move around, the dragon's head seems to follow you around the room. View the video, to see what I mean.
How does it work? If we move around when viewing a solid object, our brain knows how the object we are looking at should behave. However the dragon gives us the wrong clues, because we mis-interpret what its shape is. We assume that the nose of the dragon is pointing out towards us, but in fact the dragon's head is concave.
You can download a copy of the actual dragon and try this illusion for yourself if you wish.
Hi Lim Jeck. I am impressed with your achievements at such a young age. I am a potential parent of a QPS student next year. I would like to check with you what do you think of the school, its teachers and environment? My email is gelfish3@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot!!
