@felagund23 I'm not sure where you're getting that information from, but it's not true. I've been to science centers myself that had Ames Rooms, the illusion works in person with both eyes open. Binocular depth perception won't compensate for the distortion of the room - the brain is still fooled by visual cues into seeing it as a regular rectangle when it isn't.

people forget that this only works with one eye, if you were to stand there yourself, it would ruin the illusion because of depth perception.
you would see that the room is not normal shaped.
youd have to clsoe one eye for it to work.
so even if tribal people that were not broguht up in houses with paralle walls,
they would be fooled if they saw this video, but not if they/we were standing there in person.

This is a grotesquely out of sync video.
