Ames room (Optical illusion)

I built a fully functional Ames room.

###- What is an Ames room ?

An Ames room is a distorted room that is used to create an optical illusion.

It is constructed so that from the front it appears to be an ordinary cubic-shaped room, with a back wall and two side walls parallel to each other and perpendicular to the horizontally level floor and ceiling.

However, this is a trick of perspective and the true shape of the room is trapezoidal: the walls are slanted and the ceiling and floor are at an incline.

As a result of the optical illusion, a person standing in one corner appears to the observer to be a giant, while a person standing in the other corner appears to be a dwarf (see catsacks above).

The illusion is so convincing that a person walking back and forth from the left corner to the right corner appears to grow or shrink.
