NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM Following Gorilla NWT

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM Following Gorilla NWT The gorillas face will follow you around. Following gorilla This product is an amazing optical illusion, where the gorilla's face appears to follow you as you move around the room. So, how does it work? Our brain makes assumptions about what we see, When it sees this gorilla's face, it treats it like a typical face it has experience of. The nose should be the nearest part to us, as faces are convex, But in this case the nose is actually the furthest part away, as the face is in fact concave. Our brain is tricked into a rather strange illusion, where the face appears to follow us around the room.
