The Time Fountain - Optical Illusion

February 25, 2008

Start with the video…

How are the effects possible?
Strobe lights work by only allowing us to see an object a few times a second. Because our brain is still merging the images it’s getting from the retina, the effect is that we perceive the object in “slow motion.” Some objects, such as a dripping water, can even be made to appear “frozen” by matching the flashes of light to the speed of the object.
