Tomm Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Someone posted this picture in another thread, and it looked a bit like an optical illusion. But I photoshopped it and now it's much harder to work it out. So the question is, is the rider (Chai) facing towards or away from us?

Joel Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 At first I did think towards but then glasses helped me see he is facing away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomer Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 If he was riding towards us at that angle his disk would be on the wrong side. you can just make out the caliper and rotor i think.So away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Elding Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Away, i dont see how it could be facing towards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjow Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 There was an incredible java applet I saw that used a similar effect to this. It was the silhouette of a ballet dancer woman spinning round on her toe. It looked like she was spinning one way - but that depended on who was looking at it. With a good deal of effort you could change your perception to feel like she's spinning the other way.Unfortunately I can't remember where it was.

JT! Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 You can't see the chain. Yeah, it's a spoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I worked out as away, but only due to bits of bike still being left in, and it just doesnt quite look right towards, although i could happily see both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yeah, it's a spoke Yeah, I photoshopped the disc out, but I think the hub is bigger on that side or something. And the brake cables were a dead giveaway so they had to go too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Away, i dont see how it could be facing towards?like u joe i have amaazing eyes and i cant see any optical illusion, its easy to see, the front wheel is too small for it to be facing like he is coming toward us.
