Product Description

Put your eyes and brain to the test with 30 hands-on optical illusions and visual perception activities inspired by Exploratorium exhibits!

Can you tell whether a smile is real or fake? Make a light bulb appear to glow, discover a floating hot dog, explore the famous “hole in hand” illusion, experiment with anamorphic images, and transform 2D stereograms into seemingly 3D pictures to reveal hidden images.

Based on popular Exploratorium-originated exhibits, this interactive book offers 30 hands-on activities that explore the fascinating science of optical illusions, visual perception, depth, perspective, and how the brain interprets what our eyes see. It’s an engaging way for curious minds to experiment with the surprising relationship between vision and the brain.

Perfect for kids, families, road trips, classrooms, and curious adults, these screen-free activities turn everyday moments into opportunities to look closer, question what you see, and discover how your brain makes sense of the visual world.

Softcover, 30 pages.
