the problem with this version of the 'illusion' is that ricky and errol never appear to be in the same horizontal plane (as indicated by the checkerboard floor) so one always appears to be far far away while one is closer ruining the ames room effect.
O truque, neste quadro, é que o quarto é realmente muito mais profundo e mais alto no lado esquerdo e, assim, faz o cara deste lado parecer pequeno.
Enquanto o cara do lado direito, por estar mais à frente e no lado menor do quarto (com forma trapezoidal), dá a impressão de ser enorme. Mas ambos apresentam o mesmo tamanho.
O quarto foi construído, pela primeira vez em 1946, pelo oftalmologista norte-americano Adelbert Ames Jr.
The floor is a steep slope, like the one in this vid: watch?v=hCV2Ba5wrcs
.
There are no steps. When you walk up a slope that is as severely inclined as the ones featured in Ames' rooms, you bend your knees similar to walking up steps.
the guy on the left is walking down stairs and on the left, up. when he walks between two, what i would call stairs, they are really just a bigger steps(or a ledge). they are acting like theyre on steps in some places. the camera angle prevents you from noticing this.
Its a trapezoidal room and the image of the room inside what were seeing now, is through a peephole. its that particular area that we see, that limits our binocular depth cues which makes the room look rectangular. because of this, 'shape constancy' remains intact while 'size constancy' becomes sacrificed. Thus we get this cool shit going where the room looks the same while the peeps walking right to left of the room appear to get bigger or smaller. and vice versa for left to right.
@BrotherTree1 So in actual fact, the right side of the room is where the person is CLOSER, while the left side of the room is where the person is FURTHER AWAY. Thus, explains the bigger/smaller phenomena of the person in the Ames room.
Not only is the room distorted, but the other reason this works is because once we see it in 2D, all depth perception is lost. So we have no depth cues to help us figure out things are further, nearer or taller. Especially since the room slops gradually. If this were recorded with a 3D camera and put on a newer 3D TV it would never work. Instead we'd be able to see the depth... Unless it was a bad recording.
@TerranRich Because they are. The steps are only cleverly hidden by the checker pattern. They are also gradual, with the taller steps on the far left side where it's harder to see. Watch at 0:40 where the guy on the left steps down from one of the steps. It's obvious.
its not stairs, it just a smooth floor on a slant, and the tiles are painted a certain size larger the further back you go into the room to create the effect that the person is shrinking.
sure its not edited but even so, an object will not become blur at the rate 13 steps away with respect to the observer, I mean you can still clearly see a persons face 13 steps away from you as clear as the 2 steps close to you right? and yes as the object goes far It'll become blur but not at the rate as fast as this demo. Try this, focus at the first persons face as he travel and you'll know what i mean...
i didn't say its fake I said my brain cannot be fooled which is actually a joke, you cant control your brain to convince itself that what you see is an optical illusion since birth our brain is programed base on what we see and how things used to be like straight ground or down pull of gravity.
True! cause when they come near their feet look weirdly placed in respect to the tiles. Oh btw, the room is trapezium shaped. Explained here - ww_moillusions_ com/2007/03/ames-room-video-illusion. html
The room is in a shape of a trapezium. (inside it) the left side or more accurately the top left side of the room in this video is sloped downwards. Everything to the right side is at a larger scale.
No.. not steps.. you are getting tricked by the tiles which aren't even part of the illusion lmao
It's an illusion called the ame's room. Learned about it in my perception course. The room is really distorted, but our view and past memories make us think its not, which is why we see it how we do.
This is a terrible representation. The individuals aren't supposed to appear moving away from or towards the camera, but move along the diagonal wall, and appear as if they're walking sideways. And we fall for it (believe they're walking sideways when they are also walking towards the camera) because we presume the walls are parallel (i.e. we think the diagonal wall is parallel to the wall with the "whole" (look it up in wiki) through which we observe this).
YOU ARE RIGHT! i am a psychologist studying perceptual principles and constancies. This is a horrible representation! They should do it sideways. It's not because they are moving further away andhence getting smaller but is because a person is supposed to maintain shape constancy and hence percieve the person to 'shrink' and 'grow' as they walk fro one side to the other side as they walk. But this video doesn't show this!
The room is a grotesque trapezoid. This is an optical illusion. There are no steps. But I suppose you have to have an IQ higher than average to figure that out.
there is no step. the room is a grotesque trapezoid. the floor is tilted and so are the walls but when you look at this lay out in tunnel vision, everything appears to be perpendicular and parallel. the thing i think you saw that you mistaken for a step is the checkerboard flooring which is another optical illusion within itself. there is no floor though
The back wall is not straight. The left hand side is further than the right hand side. So when someone stands on the left they look smaller when in fact they are just further away. The ceiling is also slanted to give different height illusions. So the back of the room has a higher ceiling
one window is bigger than the other too, that's a major part of it. it seems like the back wall is rectangular, but it's trapezoidal because one window is bigger than the other.
@Ba3dadBoy Actually, there are steps in the floor, cleverly disguised by the checker pattern. This is what makes the ceiling appear taller on one side and shorter on the other.
@SkeksisRule wow man how on earth did you spot that?! I can barely tell even after you told me but you're right, the knees bend when they walk as if they're walking on steps.
@Ba3dadBoy I noticed that they were walking oddly, like they were stepping down. So I watched their feet and I was able to spot the stairs. It's hard to see, because the steps are gradual from left to right until there are no steps at all on the right side. Also, look at the bottom of the oatmeal(?) box on the far left side. One side is longer than the other. They had to do that because it would hang over the step and the space between the floor would be too obvious.
doesnt work as good with them walking and having those stupid fucking oat meal shit in there. because you can guess how long a stride they take is, you can percieve how far they are actually walking.. if they are standing still the illusion woulod work a little better. they talk about this rom in my psychology text
You can see, in the last 30s or so of the clip, the man in the grey shirt, walk up a set of stairs on a seemingly horizontal surface. It is given away by how he raises his leg that he is stepping up onto something. He is actually in a small trough which enables him to walk towards the camera but remain 'small'. You can see from the shadow cast by the frame in the window hiding what appears to be the raised floor.
ead Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
This is a trick of perspective and the true shape of the room is trapezoidal: the walls are slanted and the ceiling and floor are at an incline, and the right corner is much closer to the front-positioned observer than the left corner (or vice versa is also correct)
no it isn't, the feet of the guy in the blue shirt are pointing down, where the feet of the other guy is pointing up, so it isn't a stair, its a very steep floor and diagonal walls
this an optical illusion known as the ams room created by Adelbert Ames. It's a room with a traperziodal rear wall and sloping floor and ceiling. The left side is taller than the right.
There aren't any steps. The camera is placed on the right side and the entire room is slanted. The picture on the back as well as the rest of the room is slanted to make it look straight with the camera.
That is correct. Each row of tiles is actually a step. The whole room is a set of steps, lower on the left (far side) and higher on the right (near side). Or maybe its just the Quaker Oat guy messing with your mind...
I gotta admire how passionate you are. Wrong, but very passionate.
If you look carefully at the man walking up, you'll clearly see that he walks across the lines where thr steps would be. The man walking down, is miming giant steps which is fooling your eye into thinking he's walking on stairs.
I only noticed the slope by looking at the guy in the blue's shoes, his toes are pointing down as they shake hands. Extremely well done, never seen this illusion done before.
lol actually there doesn't need to be a slope... this has been used in all sorts of video productions and even stage productions... it's how they made Gandalf in LOTR appear much larger and dwarves much smaller.
Also, there isn't a slope, it's strictly the way the structure is built and painted and the objects are placed in the space.
They do it to further indoctrinate kids into corporate media and consumer culture. Isn't there any way for US to teach our kids without relying on corporations? Are we so lazy that we'll sell our children's souls over to

As a correction, they aren't actually steps. It's a smooth surface, it's just at an angle. Watch their feet just as they take a step.
The camera is viewing from a very thin slit in the wall of the room, which from that angle makes the room look flat bottomed.

the back left corner is far lower than the right front
you can tell by the way their feet hit the ground that the skinny guy is walking downhill at the beginning and back uphill later on
ames room ftw
its just the camera that is turned the right way so you dont see the distortion

your a freakin moron the room isnt a rectangle one corner is farther out than it shud be so they appear different sizes

That is correct. Each row of tiles is actually a step. The whole room is a set of steps, lower on the left (far side) and higher on the right (near side). Or maybe its just the Quaker Oat guy messing with your mind...

I know about the Ames room, but the guy in the blue certainly cracks his head hard on the ceiling if there is no slant or stairs

I gotta admire how passionate you are. Wrong, but very passionate.
If you look carefully at the man walking up, you'll clearly see that he walks across the lines where thr steps would be. The man walking down, is miming giant steps which is fooling your eye into thinking he's walking on stairs.

I only noticed the slope by looking at the guy in the blue's shoes, his toes are pointing down as they shake hands. Extremely well done, never seen this illusion done before.

lol actually there doesn't need to be a slope... this has been used in all sorts of video productions and even stage productions... it's how they made Gandalf in LOTR appear much larger and dwarves much smaller.
Also, there isn't a slope, it's strictly the way the structure is built and painted and the objects are placed in the space.

WTF is with the Quaker oatmeal? Is this their attempt at a viral ad?

That's what I'm guessing. This is a seriously oldschool illusion and they could have shown it WITHOUT corporate advertising.

I don't agree. We should encourage companies to teach. Every Kid's show on the air is sponsored by someone.

They do it to further indoctrinate kids into corporate media and consumer culture. Isn't there any way for US to teach our kids without relying on corporations? Are we so lazy that we'll sell our children's souls over to
