Optical Illusions Etc...: Folded Chess Set

Description Presented here is a vast gallery of many different forms of Optical Illusions. Whether these optical illusions are conveyed through fractals, photographs, architecture, art, or old fashioned pen and ink, they are bound to remind you that "seeing is not believing."

Caution!!!! Some of the optical illusions on this blog may cause dizziness or possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can't handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.

The following is the "Folded Chess Set" by Sandro Del-Prete. The top image models the original drawing from the original perspective. In the bottom image they take the model they built and rotate it to expose how it could be constructed.
