Contrary to popular belief, it’s not your creativity that’s playing tricks on you. Here’s why your eyes may feel a reality different from that of your neighbor:
Your contrast sensitivity: Our eyes are not all wired the same way. Some people are naturally more sensitive to nuances of light and shadow.
The quality of your screen: A high-definition screen can discover details that others completely obscure. Yes, technology plays a role too!
Your gaze position: Tilting your head slightly or moving away from the image can suddenly know a previously invisible number. Surprising, isn’t it?
Result: this illusion becomes a fun little test… but one to be taken lightly!
