    The described phenomenon has a practical reason; cartographers used to work with paper maps on desks. Since most people are right handed, desk lamps (and candles, in the older days) are usually positioned on the left side of a table, so that you‘d have the written words illuminated while your hand casts it’s shadow away from the writing. So in order for cartographers to not get confused, the shadows on maps are oriented so that they would line up with any other shadow on the desk!

    1:50 it takes me a little bit of mind effort to perceive "Concave" as actually concave, most of the time I perceive it as convex as well. I wonder if it's bc I'm more used to artificial light sources than sunlight, which would mean my brain will usually perceive the light as coming from whatever direction is opposite to the shadows.

    • @Neonlaserz
      @Neonlaserz 2 роки тому +2

    The weird thing is that I can flip them in my mind without flipping the image which freaked me out when I was little because I was looking at a math problem with one of those see-through and I thought the image in the book changed. My parents didn't understand that though so they thought I had some mental issue. 😅 Later when I understood this concept I tried really hard and did it in real life with a clear cube and basically it looks like the front and back faces are switched which is really weird. Its hard but I know a few people who can do it too.

      No eyes is very common in cartoons. See Dr. Suess books, for example...lots of characters have their eyes closed. And none of the people (or cats) in Henry's drawings have eyes. Ditto xkcd, come to think of it.
      Probably having something to do with "eyes are the window to the soul" or something. "Soul" being difficult to capture with a stick figure. Plain dots might work...

    0:16 This is coming out of the wood, because of the simple fact that the light source is above the wood (you can see the shadow in the wood), therefore because the shadowing is happening on the lower part of the writing, it is not carved in to the wood, but rather the oposite.

      I have a very dependent eye, so my depth perception was pretty bad too. I remember my optometrist showing me a bee that was supposed to look 3D, but it only ever looked 2D to me. Old 3D movies wouldn’t look 3D. The real D 3D is better though- either that, or my right is less dependent on my left than when I was younger.

  • @jasonspence
    @jasonspence 7 років тому +6

    I found lots of them only half worked. For example, at 1:48, Convex should have had shadows extending past the bump, casting a longer shadow. Concave, on the other hand, had some oddities, like the inner sides of the lower left corners of 'o' and 'c', that gave it the impression of being convex, but having been spray-painted black or something (odd that I feel this rather than feeling like the light source was on the bottom right).
    I think the Grand Canyon picture worked so well because it has many layers and terrain colours, so it is hard to know where shadows would be, if it were a mountain range.

    • @otherwords1375
      @otherwords1375 5 років тому

      That's not true. Imagine extruding a curve with some thickness into 3D space. If you're a point in the plane, you will be able to see where the curve is "backward" from you in space (because you have depth perception, a feature of 2D). So it will appear to you as a two dimensional object rather than a straight line drawn across a single axis. I think you're confusing "object" with the specific case of polyhedra composed of straight line segments. And even in the polyhedra case: if you're a point on the plane inscribed *inside* the base of a polyhedra, you will be able to deduce what kind of polygon the base is by rotating 360 degrees and counting up vertices. So many 3D objects can and do appear 2D from a point perspective in 2D.
      Plus, by your thinking, all 2D objects would also appear 1D from a point perspective in the plane. There's nothing special about 3D, so you've erred both in your statement and the uniqueness of its implication. I.e.: from the perspective of a point in 3D, 3D objects appear as 3D (barring cases where one axis is obscured / optical illusions), so even if your formula were uniformly correct it wouldn't apply to higher N.

      If we draw a 3D curve with thickness and I am 2D object myself, then to see that curve, it will first have to be projected on my 2D plane. Even if it gets projected right before me, I will see only front part of projection and not what's behind it. So it will appear 1D. That's, from 2D, 3D objects appearing as 1D.

    • @otherwords1375
      @otherwords1375 5 років тому

      @@jaydeepvipradas8606 I don't understand what you're saying. I'm not saying that you can see the thickness itself (the surface area), only that you can see *that it is curved* and thereby that it is not a straight line but varies along with a y axis. I.e., that is two dimensional. You don't get curves in one-dimensional space, only two dimensions, so you don't have to see what's "behind it," just the fact that it bends. Which, again, the eyes of a purely 2D point see. This conception of "depth perception" makes no reference to 3D information.
      Also, see my polyhedra critique. If you are a 2D point inside a cross-section of a 3D polyhedra, you can rotate 360 degrees -- again, a capacity you have because you are in 2D space -- and count up vertices, determining that the object you are seeing is indeed 2D.

    • @otherwords1375
      @otherwords1375 5 років тому

      I'll admit my metaphor confusing. I should have clarified that what I mean by 2D "depth perception" isn't the kind of 3D depth perception where you judge the distance between points on a plane by looking "above" them in the Z direction (or by looking at their shadows, contingent on a 2D projection of 3D information.) If you have a point A on the plane, you can clearly draw a line through that point and two other points B and C. If AB is longer than AC, A will "see" point B as further away. This is very simple 2D point perspective and what I meant by "depth." I.e., I just mean an intuitive notion distance, which one would certainly have in 2D space. So my argument stands.

    • @jaydeepvipradas8606
      @jaydeepvipradas8606 5 років тому

      @@otherwords1375 Pure 2D object can still perceive depth of whatever is projected before it, it need not see just straight line, this is similar to humans having depth perception in 3D world. But it is still 1D of 3D, because 2D object can not see things that are projected beyond most front side of projection.
      Rotation and orientation will allow seeing different views over time. But at a single moment in time, 2D would be seeing 1D.
      2D object can have intelligence to construct multi-dimensional object by continuous rotations and various orientations, but without intelligence, 2D would purely see 3D as 1D.
      Your point of view could be correct, but this is my point of view as of now.

    The illusion is very real, but in most of your beginning examples, I got it correct, not because my brain doesn't have the same biases, but because one version of the "mountain or valley" made more sense in context. Like, the Grand Canyon from above makes a lot more sense geographically if it cuts into the earth rather than the other way around. The Mars picture clearly had craters that made the valleys make more sense in context. And the Snake Creek sign makes far more sense that the letters are cut into the wood, not only because it would be easier to make that way, but also because the texture of the wood reveals the location of the light source anyway, just like the Mars craters do.
