Visual perception is the ability to perceive our surroundings through the light that enters our eyes. The visual perception of colors, patterns, and structures has been of particular interest in relation to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) because these are perceived exclusively through vision.

The human eye can only see visible light, but light comes in many other “colors”—radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray—that are invisible to the naked eye. On one end of the spectrum there is infrared light, which, while too red for humans to see, is all around us and even emitted from our bodies.

Although the human visual system features three types of cones cells with their respective color pigments plus light-receptive rod cells for scotopic vision, it is the human brain that compensates for variations of light wavelengths and light sources in its perception of color.

Humans see optical illusions when the visual system (eyes and brain) attempts to interpret an image that evokes a perception that deviates from reality. For example, Figure 2, square “A” looks darker than square “B” to our eyes, but they are actually the same shade of gray.

But we don’t ‘see’ with our eyes – we actually ‘see’ with our brains, and it takes time for the world to arrive there. From the time light hits the retina till the signal is well along the brain pathway that processes visual information, at least 70 milliseconds have passed.

There are three main types of optical illusions including literal illusions, physiological illusions and cognitive illusions. All three types of illusions have one common thread.

While the biological basis for how optical illusions might work is universal across humans, when some illusions are shown to people in different cultures, not everyone saw the same thing or missed the same visual cues [sources: Schultz, Alter]. New illusions are largely riffs off the old classics.

The vertical line appears longer than the horizontal line when it is not. The vertical line appears longer than the horizontal line, even though both are of the same length.

The perceived size (length) of the vertical line depends on its actual size and perceived distance. Because the perceived distance is larger than the perceived distance of the horizontal line, the vertical line appears longer.

Abstract. The vertical-horizontal illusion is the tendency for observers to overestimate the length of a vertical line relative to a horizontal line that has the same length.

Which line is longer A or B? Answer: They are both same length!

People live together in a neighbourhood so that they can help each other during the times of crisis. They also live together so that they can share their happiness with each other.

A neighbourhood is one of the parts of a town where people live. The neighbourhood of a place or person is the area or the people around them.

Neighbour is an alternative spelling of the word neighbor, which is a term used to refer to people who live in your community and who are close to you. The man who lives in the house next door to your house is an example of your neighbour.

Having good neighbours is important because it makes our life in a neighbourhood safer, happier and more fun. We also tend to have more peace of mind. Although we can choose our friends but not our neighbours, we must remember that we get what we give.

Neighbors are often very supportive of each other’s family needs, especially where the kids are concerned. Good neighbors can be helpful for emergency childcare and generally keeping a lookout for safety. Neighbors can be a source of good advice and are conveniently located when you need some guidance.

There is a prerequisite to loving thy neighbor, too. “God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. No one has ever seen God. But, if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.”

He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, you God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

A version of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. First found in the Old Testament.

In response, Christ delivered the Parable of The Good Samaritan. In the Parable of The Good Samaritan, Jesus Christ taught that loving your neighbor means more than loving those in your homogenous and socially segregated neighborhood. Loving your neighbor means more than being respectful, generous, and tolerant.
