Can You Spot the Invisible Ductwork?

The discussion revolves around an optical illusion related to a ductwork design in a recently renovated building. The original image, which was printed with lowered contrast to simulate a draft, led to confusion about the visibility of the duct, as it appeared obscured by other objects. Participants noted that the duct was indeed present but difficult to see due to reflections and the way the image was altered with red outlines. The outlines, intended to clarify the duct's location, inadvertently made it harder to identify, as they obscured key visual cues. Users expressed their frustration and fascination with the illusion, highlighting the challenges of perspective and the impact of image manipulation on perception. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes how visual elements can dramatically affect understanding in architectural contexts.

No he didn't. The q was always there, it was hidden behind invisible-text-coloured construction lines. He's removed them for clarity.Danger said:You spelled 'Warren' wrong.

I'd outline just the parts you can see, but then people would yell at me...
