Creepy Double Images for April Fools Day

Hybrid Images @ MIT


Look at the picture above. Get really close. Then step back, go the other side of the room, and look at the picture again. Weird, eh?

Aude Olivia and Antonio Torralba from MIT do research in cognitive science and have developed these amazing hybrid images. Their Hybrid Images is a gallery where there are examples of these optical illusions for you to creep yourself out. There are more examples and explanations of how it's done in this pdf. DIY and creep out your friends.

Happy April Fool's, one day early!
