In 2015, the internet was captivated by a classic optical illusion known as 'The Dress That Broke the Internet.' This viral sensation sparked intense debates as people couldn't agree on the colors of the dress. Some saw it as blue and black, while others insisted it was white and gold. The dress caused such a frenzy that it even led to the publication of peer-reviewed articles in the Journal of Vision. This was reported by SSPDaily.
So, why did people see the dress differently? The explanation lies in how our brains perceive color based on two factors: the color of the object and the color of the light source. Depending on whether your brain perceived the dress in shadow or direct light, the colors appeared differently.
Interestingly, exactly eight years ago, this image triggered widespread discussions on the internet. Some individuals firmly believed the dress was blue and black, while others adamantly saw it as white and gold. This difference in perception prompted scientific inquiries into understanding the underlying reasons.
Experts shed light on this illusion, attributing it to the intricate workings of our eyes and brains.
