Perception

Distorted Room

The DISTORTED ROOM is a full-sized room which is viewed with one eye through a viewing hole outside one window. The wall far from the view hole is not parallel to the nearby wall, but recedes from it. The tiles on the floor, the window frames, the ceiling moldings, etc. are all proportioned so that the far wall looks as if it were the opposite wall of a cube. As a result, people viewed in the room appear to change drastically in height as they walk from one side to the other.
