Interesting picture.

Hobbes

Look at the picture close up. Angry person is on the left, calm person on the right. Now move away from your computer and they will change sides.

Would be interested to know how they did it.

Would be interesting to know what the hell you're on about.

Didn't work for me.

i dont see any difference when i move.

cregser

Actually, give it a good 5 metres. It works

Creamy Goodness

you've to do it like a magic eye for it to work.

Nala

It's pretty damn cool! Stand about 4 feet away from your computer.

stevenmu

kinda worked for me, I'd glance at from a distance and I'd see calm on the left and angry on the right but when my eyes focus it switches back to the other way (same as viewing from close up). Pretty cool even at that

mike65

Nope they stayed the same for me.

edit, ah 5 metres! I dont have that much space but I went back about 3 and saw some change.

No you can see it if you just stand a good bit away from it...I'd say they did it using some form of black and white colour trickery...

Sparky

ah, you make lazy man get up and walk a few meters

yeah i see it now!thanks

id say it would have something to do with black and white imaging.

The_B_Man

is that a man or a woman? angry looks like a dude, but calm looks kinda girly!

Ozzy

Lemme see! Lemme see!

Grrr!:mad: Wee!:)

Wee!:) Grrr!:mad:

TerrorFirmer

Thats pretty cool. When you move a good 2 meters away, they switch completely.

RVN10

kinda worked not really tho

Supercell

Thats cool, the chick on the left becomes a cutie!! , amazing!!

danniemcq

ok now everyone at work thinks i'm strange for backing slowly away from the computer. Thanks Hobbes now my street cred and reputation has crumbled.

still it was a pretty cool pic effect

Crucifix

Probably depends on your eyesight. Let me test it.
Yup, with my glasses on I back up as far as I can with little change, but without them it works with about a metre.

*Angel*

Yeah worked for me, kinda weird!

Sarsfield

I guess it's a case of the brain filling in the gaps. At a distance, the bright lower lip on the face on the right is interpreted as bared teeth. The light area around the jaw is ignored making the face look thinner.

The same process on the face on the left has the opposite effect and from a distance has a smoother appearance too.

Somnus

Doesnt work at all for me

Madge

hehe dats cool, worked for me, but I had to stand a good bit away from the computer

It'a about the way our brain interprets colour, white, black and grey.

Sauron

Pretty cool alright

projectmayhem

ah it does work. but i think i'm aided in that i'm short sighted, so one blur looks more angry then the other blur, so to speak

Yeah, all i have to do is remove my glasses and they change from 1 metre

faceman

Good or bad, what a totally pointless thing!

Diarmsquid

I think it's the way it's slightly blurred from a distance.
And precise up close.

Oral Slang

I didn't really move away, just squinted my eyes & it worked. Pretty cool! Could never see any of the magic eye thingys..

Each face is made up of two different drawings. One drawing is more noticeable up close, by using more intricate detail, and the other is more noticeable from far away, by using blocky shading. The blocky shading isnt noticeable upclose, so your eye concentrates on the detail that gives the impression of angry/calm. When standing far away, your eye cant pick up the intricate detail and so instead gains information from the blocky shading which is more noticeable at a farther distance without the detail getting in the eyes way.

gurramok

How da heck can anyone notice the differnnce when they are drunk?
