An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.
There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, color, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences. Source Wikipedia. You can get really creative with optical illusions, you can even print a 3D model of an illusion.
Optical illusions for kids
These optical illusions for kids help them in increasing concentration power and sharpen their focus. Though these optical illusions are for kids, we are sure that adults will enjoy them, as well. As this collection is taken from all those chain mails, I have been getting, I don’t have the actual source of these illusions. But nevertheless, these illusions will blow you away. You can also keep your kids attention occupied with an app, check out Cartoon HD App Review.
Pink Dots
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black ” +” in the center, the moving dots turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black ” + ” in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating. It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don’t disappear. This should be proof enough, we don’t always see what we think we see.

The Man in the Coffee Beans
The “illusion” is that this is just a picture of coffee beans; but it is not. Can you find a man’s face among the beans? Some say that if you find the man in 3 seconds or less, the right half of your brain may be more well developed than most.

Spinning Wheels Optical Illusion
Do the wheels in this cool optical illusion seem to rotate?
As you can see, there are a ton of optical illusions out there that can really mess with your mind. It’s really cool to stare at some of these and daze off into them. Actually, it’s somewhat relaxing. However, make sure you don’t stare at them for too long, because they could cause you to have a headache.
