Michael Ciuffo is the author of this SF optical illusion. What is neat about it, is that many of you that have laser pointer pen and advanced digital camera, can make one of your own! I let Michael describe his submission himself: “For this shot, I took my camera into a room with no windows and focused it on a mug. I then turned out all the lights and opened the shutter for a 10 second exposure. While the shutter was open and the room was dark, I “drew” on the mug with a laser pointer very quickly. I then removed the mug and positioned my hand where the handle was and then flashed a strobe to expose the background. The result is a “wire frame” of the mug.” To be honest, it took me while to figure this one out, even though I consider myself really smart. Be sure to check more optical illusions that involve cups, you can find them if you search this site for “Cups” – anamorphic tea cups, transparent coffee cup, 3D painted mugs, impossible table cup, anty-gravity milk glass, two floating cocktails, bent pencil glass…
