What's the optical illusion called that causes the Haunted Mansion busts to watch you as you walk by them?

Question

The "Haunted Mansion" is the mansion at the parks!! I think it's DLR or WDW I'm not sure, but I need help on this!!!!

Answer 1

The bust illusion is actually nothing but an optical illusion involving your brain's perception of light. When you look at the statues very closely, you'll notice that they are actually negative impressions in the wall, as opposed to positive objects coming toward you. Your brain can't interpret the movement of light upon the object's shapes in the manner it typically would with a normal dimensional object
Your brain's decoding works in reverse, convincing you that the light is moving because the object is moving; while the truth is that the light is moving because your eyes are perceiving it from a different point

Answer 2

First of all: a video camera cannot project images. It can only record.

I've been to Disney many time, and I've always wondered about this too. I know the image of the face is projected from the inside.

Answer 3

Its something I learned while I took art lessons several years ago in grade school. It is where you paint the portrait to have the perosn's eyes follow you no matter where you are in the room or direction to the painting. I think its called "Projection Drawing."

And with the lighting they use on the ride....it makes it seem better. I THINK thats it....not sure.
