If u see it tilted towards the bottom, try to look at it from bottom to up, and if u see it bottom to up try to see from the top to bottom (idk if that makes sense but thats how i find i can see them, tho ur brain quickly adjusts to the “default” whichever u saw at first), also blink…
Monke brane and senses, well adapted to survive in the savannas of Africa, encounters math and gets baffled.
Even knowing the other possible orientations I still had to force quite hard to see the cube change, once it did though it shifted between forms easily without much effort.
That’s because only the bottom and top layer intersect. And you can’t make more than two parallel layers intersect in 3d space, so yeah.
I feel like i’m being pranked. Isn’t it a cube? Equal sides? Are you seeing a different shape?
The way I tricked my brain into seeing the other perspective is I closed my eyes, flipped my phone 180, then looked at the image again. The cube was now upside down, even after flipping the phone back while continuously looking at the image.
Two different orientations.
a cube looks the same in all six orientations though…
Perceived one way, the side of the cube facing you is facing downward and towards your left and you are seeing the inside of the bottom face through the rest of the cube. With a shift in perception, you can see it so that the face towards you is angled up and to the right and you see the bottom face from below the cube.
Like this:
Now the trick is to make your brain do it without removing any of the lines.
You can also purposely avoid seeing any intended depth and it’ll look like a weird diamond someone drew
There is also a weird 3d pretzel pyramid type thing it could be. The two points in the middle would be pointed upward out of the plane, with the outer hexagon being the base of the “pyramid.”
Thanks, this is the only way I can get it to flip.
Yes, I was going to say “there is a third”.
Just 2?
I seriously spent 10 minutes trying to get this to work and as soon as I was righting this comment to bitch about it, it finally flipped.
both still look the same to me only with different shaded sides
Focusing on the grey square makes it flip for me.
This might make it easier to visualize. The original drawing is in the middle. The two different ways to view it are shaded on the left and right side.
This one yes! The third one is so much easier to get it. I can also still see the third one as the first
It’s not a schooner. It’s a sailboat.
Now, with both on the screen, try to simultaneously see one facing left/down and one facing right/up.
What is this? Kata for one day being able to make the spinning dancer only ever do a half spin?
Oh that sounds like a fun mental challenge. Here it is for quick reference:
I hate this gif. I look at it and shes spinning one way. I try really hard to make her spin the other way. It doesn’t work. I look away for a moment. I look back. Now she’s spinning the other way. I try to make her spin in the original direction again. It doesn’t work. Wtf man.
I tried and u can kinda do that if u focus on the top one and kinda see the downwards one from the corner of ur eye…
Looks the same to me.
The anime is Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO for short), in case anyone was wondering. Can recommend it, it is funny.
And the cube illusion is the Necker Cube.
Do you want to know what consciousness is for? Do you want to know the only real purpose it serves? Training wheels. You can’t see both aspects of the Necker Cube at once, so it lets you focus on one and dismiss the other.
I tried to see the difference, then saw the difference, and now I can’t go back to the first thing I saw.
Oh okay normal and one as if from below. I was so confused.
Right hand rule.
Like the 5 circle multi directional tube.
You can’t just say that and not provide a link.
EDIT : Damn you autocorrect.
I couldn’t find an example on line. Every search I tried failed miserably. So I drew one with 4 circles.
Okay
Gotta love phones.
George george, george of the jungle! Strong as a bumblebee! WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!!
