Snow Blind Illusion
Masashi Atarashi, a physics teacher at Aichi Prefectural Gojo Senior High School in Japan created this video that demonstrates what he calls the “Snow Blind illusion”. The illusion itself is a very simple one, and you have probably already witnessed this in the past. Watch how the speed of falling snowflakes appears to be accelerated by the presence of the blinds in the video.
It’s been getting colder here, now I’m actually looking forward to the first snowfall! This optical illusion is a finalist for the 2015 Best Illusion of the Year Contest.
