Hey #OpticalIllusion experts - what is this illusion called that I just stumbled across while analysing something in Excel? Does everyone see it?

The illusion I’m seeing is that the perfectly rectangular blue data bars look trapezoidal. They appear to be narrower at the left edge than at the right edge.

The effect is strongest for edges that are in the middle. It is much, much less prominent on the bottom edge of the bottom-most one in each case. The top edge, which abuts a plain grey area above, is somewhere in between in strength for me.

(The effect is stronger when the image is not zoomed too big?)

anyone else seeing the boundary of these purple gradients shifting to the right as you move your eyes around? 👀 #opticalillusion
My second pixel art practice of the day is this dizzying pattern that (thanks to its closely set concentric lines) looks kind of tridimensional. 4 colors :) #opticalIllusion #pattern #ColorPattern #green #verde #motif #TilingTuesday #concentric #3D #opArt #mastoart #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies

Fascinating #physics The measuring cylinder is tilted to the right. It's filled with rainwater. You'd think the water level wouldn't also tilt to the right. But it does. The measuring cylinder is also tilted forward; This causes an #opticalillusion. #sharingisthenewlearning #PhotographersOfBluesky
