Congratulations!
A new Munker illusion, which I call confetti. All the dots in the background are the same color (RGB 250, 219, 172) but are perceived as four different colors. The differences are subtle, though, and depend on the size of the image when it's viewed. cc @AkiyoshiKitaoka pic.twitter.com/vT6x64LLTy

Goddamn Colour-Switching Dress (Dress illusion or Dress debate)
According to Stephen Macknik on CVNet on March 7-10:
1. Swiked originally tweeted the image on tumblr on February 25, 2015.
2. She did ask the 2AFC question, not the open ended question: http://swiked.tumblr.com/post/112073818575/guys-please-help-me-is-this-dress-white-and
3. She then retweeted herself on instagram on 2/27 (unless by some freak
coincidence there is a different user on Instagram named swiked who just
so happened to retweet the tumblr post).

ECVP 2015 Illusions Evening Event
The Illusions Parade (linked to ECVP and VSAC) is an exhibition/workshop event open to the public. It will bring together scientists and artists.
They will exchange knowledge and expertise in perceiving and performing experimental as well as artistic representations of illusions.
To exhibit in the gallery you will need to generate a new visual illusion (if you are a scientist) or an artwork representing perceptual illusions (if you are an artist).
Different techniques can be used, including: visual/audiovisual platforms, projections, installations, any form of painting and sculpture.
Deadline: April 1, 2015

http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/issue.aspx?issueid=2281 (open access)
Abstract: Comparing a cartoon face drawn by the author with its mirror image, asymmetry of gaze perception or a left bias was revealed, whereas the inverted faces showed no bias. This novel finding is discussed.

A new demonstration of Ames room has been devised!! Participants can see how they appear in real time!
< Method of Ogaki to demonstrate the Ames room >
Devised by Ogaki City Suitopia Center @Ogaki City Suitopia Center Art Gallery
The point where the video camera is placed is the best viewing position.
Participants can see their image in real time through the display placed
at the center of the table.
Akiyoshi stands at the left in the display. Akiyoshi carries a cell phone
to take a photo. Akiyoshi appears to be shorter than the right person,
though the former is taller than the latter.
Akiyoshi stands at the right in the display. Akiyoshi appears to be much
taller than the right person.
"The third person can take photos at this position."
