It is very hard to face an optical illusion and avoid start thinking about how the brain and our vision system work. Out The basic mechanism is very easy to figure out. It is the optical illusion per se that is hard to understand. There are no other objects to compare the illusion with that we know of . There is an intended response for the automation.
People usually get excited when they experience a nice optical illusion.
The goal is then to get them to stop, look at it, ponder, and try to make sense of the illusion 4. In projects like this, where we are experimenting with a lot of new materials and mechanisms, it is very important to focus in the central parts first and develop prototypes to prove the basic concepts. Only when we have an overall picture of how all the parts will fit together we should go to the real implementation. This does not mean the we need to understand everything in detail, nor that the picture will guarantee that the project is going to succeed. However, without it the chances of success are very low.
