Ponzo Illusion

The Ponzo illusion is a visual trick where two identical objects appear different in size because of the context surrounding them. When placed over converging lines, like railroad tracks, our brain interprets the object closer to the converging point as farther away and therefore larger, even though both objects are the same size. This illusion demonstrates how our perception of size can be influenced by depth cues and perspective, leading us to misjudge the actual size of objects based on their visual environment.
