Optical illusions are like magicians. They make you question everything your eyes tell you. They're not just pictures—they're more like windows into how
Matematičar iz Japana Kokichi Sugihura jedan je od najpoznatijih majstora iluzije na svijetu. Specijalizirao se za trodimenzionalne optičke iluzije koje su jako brzo postale hit na internetu, a Sugihara je dobio titulu kralja iluzija.
Jedna od najpoznatijih iluzija je i njegova najjednostavnija - strelica koja uvijek pokazuje desno. Ne vjerujete? Pogledajte.
I, bez brige, Sugihara uvijek otkrije i kako je izveo trik :)
24 DECEMBER 2020
It's been one heck of a year, but we're on the home stretch. Now, let's celebrate by looking at something very strange that seems to make no sense whatsoever to my poor befuddled brain.
What we have here is the winner of this year's Best Illusion of the Year Contest for 2020, and it is indeed a worthy mind-boggler, taking one of the best-known traditional 2D optical illusions and realising it perplexingly in three-dimensional space.
Designed by the mischievous mathematician Kokichi Sugihara – a celebrated Japanese illusionist and repeat winner whose work we've featured more than once on the site – this is called the 3D Schröder Staircase.

If 2020 hasn’t already turned your brain into a barely functional pile of grey mush, the Best Illusion of the Year Contest has
just the thing to push it over the edge. Every year a group of neurologists, visual scientists, ophthalmologists, and artists create and judge the best mind-benders of the year, and this year mathematician Kokichi Sugihara claimed the top prize again with an impossible 2D staircase illusion made 3D.

Prepare to lose your grip on reality: the winners of the Best Illusion of the Year Contest have been revealed.
First prize was bagged by Kokichi Sugihara, a mathematician at Meiji University in Japan who has won a number of prizes from the contest in previous years. This year, he was awarded for his optical illusion “3D Shröeder Staircase.” A Schröder staircase is a classic optical illusion that shows a two-dimensional picture of a staircase that can be perceived either as a drawing of a staircase leading downwards from left to right, or an upside-down staircase. Sugihara took this idea and turned it into a three-dimensional model.
