Video: Another Gray ‘n’ White Illusion

Today’s optical illusion video rivals the original Checker-Shadow Illusion, one we’ve originally seen created by MIT professor Edward Adelson, way back in 1995. This illusion was later recreated number of times, and by time, all of them variations demanded their very own category to be listed under. The version we show today was recreated by R. Beau Lotto, whose motive was used by creator of this video to show the effect in action. As Neatorama reports, this illusion shows us how the human visual system is not that great at being a physical light meter.

Since I’ve introduced you to our very own hosted video player, I just can’t get enough of posting all those clips. I really adore the simplicity of our player, but the only problem I couldn’t overpass is the “defer” java script attribute appended to the plugin. Why is this such a problem? Since you all know me as a perfectionist I am, I can’t overlook the fact how the video is the last thing that loads on the site (due to the defer attribute). I tried removing it, but no luck! Can someone out there come with the quick fix, that lets our player load immediately? I would be more than grateful! Fixed! Does it work properly (player shows immediately) now? ;) Btw, you can see more of greeenpro2009’s optical illusions if you check out his YouTube channel.
