stare at the dot thingy..

[dave87]

did you move the mouse over it?

lol, no, when I stared at it, I got the outline of the castle, but not any distict colours. I then moused over it and got it in black & white...

If i stare at it without moving my mouse over it for some time, the whole image just turns blue like the castle is. Very clever stuff though.

Whoa wtf, my eyes got haxed

[kalniel]

Very nice.

Guess it's working by inverse colours. Our eyes constantly adjust to the colour range we see - sort of desensitising I guess. If you stare at some bold colours your eyes adjust to compensate. Suddenly stop looking and you have the adjustment for a short while, which adds colour bias. *if* you plan the bold colours so that they're the inverse of the real colours, the adjustment biases to the real colours as compensation and that remains for a moment while you see the black and white image.

[Whiternoise]

Sorry, let me rephrase how do they know that those particular colours when merged with b/w make colour O.o?

[5lab]

its the inverse, minus any black levels

lol classic, jesus one is pretty clver, like this one too tho. the longer u stare at it the more vibrant the colours are, pretty cool.

[Norky]

That was damn cool.

I got it to work first time and immediately thought they were just taking the piss, chuffed at myself for spotting this obvious fraud...until I unfocused my eyes again!
