Optical Illusion
An optical illusion is a visual trick that fools the brain into seeing something that isn't really there or distorting what's actually present, often due to how light and patterns interact with our eyes. In today's world, these illusions are cleverly used in fields like design, virtual reality, and psychology to test perception limits and create captivating experiences that challenge our sense of reality.
