Picture

This article badly needs a picture showing one of the illusions. I'll add a search link above which may help us find one. Andrew D. (talk) 07:29, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but a screenshot from his videos is probably going to fall afoul of WP:NFCCP #1 unless we can get permission from him to freely license it. Among the illusions currently listed, the ambiguous garage is probably the most suitable for a still image. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:47, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look round. There are plenty of sites helping themselves to images and videos of the illusions. His home page and videos on YouTube seem to be where they come from but the trouble is that his own presentation of the illusions is rather ponderous or difficult to navigate. I have added a couple of links to external links which may help readers find the good stuff without ending up on advert-heavy sites like the Huffington Post or Daily Mail. Andrew D. (talk) 08:07, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks, the links are an improvement. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:08, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Since pictures do not quite capture the beauty of his creations, I added instead a video interview produced by Meiji University showcasing some of his best works ARParedesPH (talk) 23:48, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
