3D Optical Illusion Pictures

A 3D movie is such a realistic optical illusion, that it even activates our reflexes, this is why we flinch or duck when we see something 'flying' out of the screen in a 3D movie. We don't usually have the same reaction in a 2D movie.

Vibrating light waves moving on one plane, called polarized light, is how we watch 3D movies today. While you only see one image, there are actually two projectors sending out one vertically and one horizontally polarized image during the 3D film. The 3D glasses the audience wears have different filters over each eye so that only one type of light wave can enter each eye. This basically serves as an optical illusion and tricks your brain into seeing two separate images together as one, creating the depth and realism that audiences have come to love in 3D movies.
