Maps of water and land can resemble the optical illusion of the two faces and a vase by highlighting how perspective shapes perception. Just as the two faces can be seen as a vase depending on the viewer's focus, a map can emphasize either land or water based on the viewer's interpretation. For instance, a map might present land as dominant features, making water less noticeable, or vice versa. This duality illustrates how context and emphasis can shift understanding in visual representations.
An optical illusion is something that appears real but actually isn't. All kinds of optical illusions can be generated with mirrors, overlapped negatives, photography, etc.
One of the scariest pop-up optical illusions is the "Jumping Spider" illusion, where a seemingly flat image suddenly appears to leap toward the viewer, creating a startling effect. The combination of rapid movement and the realistic depiction of a spider can trigger an instinctive fear response in many people. This illusion plays on the brain's perception of depth and motion, making it an unsettling experience. Other notable mentions include illusions that feature sudden faces or figures that emerge from seemingly innocuous backgrounds.
The reason you see an optical illusion is because different parts of the eye see images at different rates. That can also end up as a false image being sent to the brain.
I believe we have optical illusions to make our eyes and brains think in different ways then they normally think! Without optical illusions, we wouldn't look at things the way we look at them... i guess(?).
A wagon-wheel effect is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation, usually caused by a screen in front of the visual image.
Your brain interprets the optical illusion based on the information received by your eyes. The eyes detect the visual stimuli, and the brain processes and interprets this information to create the perception of the optical illusion.

An optical illusion is something that tricks your brain into thinking an image is positioned or placed one way, but really is placed another way or has a multitude of positions
It is called an optical illusion. It is when our eyes perceive an image differently from how it actually is due to the way our brains interpret visual information.
That would be called an afterimage. It is an optical illusion where an image continues to appear in one's vision shortly after looking away from the original image.

A mirage is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions. Light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. A common mirage is a heat haze, On hot, sunny days, a shimmer on the road looks like pools of water. As you get closer, the image disappears.
Actually, a real image is formed by light rays converging at a point, creating an image that can be projected onto a screen. It is distinct from a virtual image, which appears to be where it is not, and does not actually converge at a point.
It's an optical illusion, done with a holographic image. The holograph can only be viewed from certain angles.

In the "Girl to Lion" illusion, the girl appears to transform into a lion as viewers focus on the image. This optical illusion manipulates perception, leading the eye to shift between the two figures. The girl is not physically moving anywhere; rather, the illusion plays with our visual interpretation, creating a striking transition between the two forms.
