Japan’s Kokichi Sugihara claimed the top prize for 'Best Illusion of the Year' with a deceptively simple illusion that plays with how our mind perceives 3D objects.  "Triply Ambiguous Object" appears to be a simple 3D structure, with a tiny flag mounted on one of its many corners.  But when viewed from other perspectives, demonstrated in the video by using a pair of mirrors, the object appears to be a completely different structure altogether, with the flag somehow simultaneously appearing in other locations.  A clever use of shading, and how the 2D image has been designed, tricks the brain into thinking it exists in 3D.  When we look at the object from different angles, we interpret those visual cues differently, producing three different 3D layouts.   Music: Yoko Imai.
