Project Name: Trickery of the Eye: The Physics of Optical Illusions
Project Leaders: Nell Grabowski
Chapter Advisors: Roberto Ramos
Project Description: Our eyes often play tricks on us, forming illusions in our minds that aren’t true. This educational outreach will highlight how optical illusions use patterns, colors and light to deceive us to view images that don’t exist, motion where there is none, and other trickery that can be explained by physics concepts.
