This document discusses optical illusions and provides several examples. Optical illusions occur when the information received by the eyes is interpreted differently in the brain, and perception is also influenced by prior learning and culture. There are three main types of optical illusions: ambiguous illusions that have two possible interpretations, distorting illusions that distort size or shape, and paradox illusions that depict impossible scenarios. The document also describes how a 3D hologram generator works using two parabolic mirrors to project an image and bounce light rays. It concludes with evaluation questions about the causes and examples of optical illusions.

2. Objectives
•
The ideas of optical illusions and their
cause.

3. Optical Illusions
Some theories on why we see them are
because of our eye traits and some think its
depends on your culture.

4. Definition
•
•
Optical illusions occur as a result of how
information is received through the eyes
and how that information is interpreted in
the brain.
How information is received also depends
on what you have already learned.

5. •
Ambiguous Illusion
The pictures or objects make the viewer see
two interpretations.

6. Distorting Illusion
•
Distorting Illusions are characterized by
distortions of size, length, or curvature.

7. Paradox Illusion
● Objects that are not possible in real life.

8. 3-D Hologram Generator
The light rays bounce off the two parabolic
mirrors and project an image.

them?
