Leaning Tower IllusionCategory: Size and Distance | Added: November 30, 2009 |
16 commentsThese two images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa are identical but if you look at them closely you'll notice that the tower on the right appears to be leaning more than the one on the left even though there is no difference between the two. This illusion won the Best Visual Illusion of the Year contest in 2007.

You are comparing the edges which face each other. The left edge of the right image slopes more than the right edge of the left image.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is real. The Scholar-pedia (peer-reviewed version of Wiki-pedia)explains it. http://www.scholarpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leaning_tower_illusion&oldid=69041

This is a good one. There are no camera or background color tricks. The illusion is that when two (or more) identical leaning or receeding objects are placed next to each other, the object the furthest out appears to be leaning the most. When in fact they are all identical.
