The Shepard's Tables

Shepard's Tables are two-dimensional representations of a table that are designed to challenge our perception of size and shape. Created by psychologist Roger Shepard, these images depict what appear to be two tables of different shapes. However, they are actually the same size. The distortion in their design plays on our brain's interpretation of perspective and depth. This phenomenon highlights how our perceptions can be easily misled, demonstrating the difference between physical reality and our visual interpretation. It serves as a fascinating example of how human perception can be influenced by visual cues.
