What is the rational behind placing the list on a different line, "above", from the title/headline? Hyacinth ( talk) 09:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
@ HouseOfChange:, ambigrams are optical illusions, classified among the cognitive ones by Richard Gregory (ref 29, inversions by Scott Kim).
The book Ambigrams Revealed: A Graphic Designer's Guide To Creating Typographic Art Using Optical Illusions, Symmetry, and Visual Perception also confirms this classification.
Other sources that mention the ambigrams as optical illusions :
3D Ambigrams (like in the cover of the book Gödel, Escher, Bach) are clearly optical illusions. But also all 2D rotational or mirror words revealing an unexpected message. Ambigrams are ambiguous images, made of text. Perceptual shift ambigrams are also optical illusions. And figure-ground ambigrams (exploiting the negative space) as well. -- Basile Morin ( talk) 00:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Category | Ambiguous image | Description | Ambigram | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Perceptual shift illusions | Rabbit–duck illusion. | Perceptual shift ambigrams. | ||
Figure-ground (perception) ( negative space) | Rubin's vase. | Figure-ground ambigrams. | ||
Reversible figures | Reversible image. | Rotational ambigrams. | ||
Impossible objects | Schroeder stairs. | 3D ambigrams. | ||
Ambiguous images | Spinning dancer. | Heterograms. | ||
Pareidolia | "Laughing" lakes. | Mirror ambigrams. | ||
Natural illusions | Mirage. | Natural ambigrams. |
Basile Morin I respect your hard work on this topic and have un-reverted your addition of this somewhat ambiguous item to this already too-long list. I only hope that the list will not accrete further with special cases of optical-illusion categories that were already included on the list. HouseOfChange ( talk) 14:01, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
