Recommendation:

The illusions clearly do the tricks they´re intended to do , online presentation doesn´t change them in any way. There are hundreds of illustrations to see on this site. There are three organized tours to start exploring. The site is also searchable. However, there is no other menu or list of illusions in categories. A site map would be a useful tool on this site. The site has a lot of items for sale, but viewing the tours of illusions is at the front of the site.

Description:

SandLotScience shares a searchable catalog of hundreds of optical illusions. From the site: "SandLotScience.com features the world's most mind-boggling optical illusions including games, puzzles, and artwork! We have 100's of Original Exhibits, Real-time Demonstrations and Live Interactive Illusions."

Possible uses:

Use these to entertain students. Discuss perception and perspective. Incorporate the optical illusions into a study of the nervous system and how the human eye perceives information. Take one of the three organized tours to introduce you to the content of the site.
