Today we where looking at different optical illusions on this cool website. There where 12 optical toys in total, from Laura Hayes and John Howard Wileman's Exhibit of Optical Toys. These toys are old school optical illusion. I thought they where very interesting and had great information. It includes each toy along with it's History,Function and what became of it. Check it out!
Each toy was very fascinating, although my favorite would have to be the Thaumatrope. The Thaumatrope is basically a small disc with an illustration on each of this sides . There is a string tide on each of the opposite sides of the disc. When you spin it, the two images on each side will appear to be one.
