I asked seventeen people to look at the optical illusion and answer the five questions represented in the graphs. I was mostly interested in how people felt in regards to optical illusions: my last graph. However, I started off by asking people what they first saw. I was suprised that more than half of the people saw the person walking first because I see the face first. I realize that how close or how big the image is greatly affects what image one sees first. I first saw the image on the computer full size, which made the face more apparent. There was a discrepency in the results between question three and four because one person answered that she could not see both images, but every respondent answered that they could voluntarily switch between the face and the person walking. The results to the last question were the most interesting. I find optical illusions very frustrating, but most people responded that they find them fascinating. One of the reasons the results to this question might have turned out this way is because the majority of the respondents could see both images and switch between both images, which makes it less frustrating. If the respondent group had a harder time seeing both images, more of them would have been frustrated.
