Best Illusion I've Seen All Year



If you look at the above images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Ms.Calm is on the right.
This illusion was created by Phillippe G.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow.
Get up from your seat, and move back 12 feet, watch what happens.
Now slowly walk back to your monitor, keeping your eyes on the photo at all times.

Does this prove that we sometimes may not be seeing what's actually there?
