Optical Illusion: Straight Lines or Bends at Angle, What Do You See? Exploring the Science

Optical Illusion: As we continue to doubt reality, a plethora of optical illusions keep us glued to our screens. And the popularity of social media posts showcasing optical illusions demonstrates the general curiosity with them. Consider this amazing optical illusion that was tweeted as an example. It depicts a Cafe wall with both horizontal and vertical lines. But are these horizontal lines straight, or do they curve at an angle?

Exploring the Parallel Nature of Horizontal Lines and the Slanted Perception

“First, those horizontal lines are actually straight. Then, the ‘café wall’ illusion is one of the oldest known. Learn why the lines are parallel and why you see them slanted,” wrote Massimo while sharing the optical illusion on Twitter. Numerous horizontal and vertical lines can be seen in the image. The horizontal lines appear to bend at an angle even if the vertical ones appear to be straight. That is untrue, though. These lines have no genuine curvature and are parallel in actuality.

Are the Lines Parallel or Slanted?

Do you see any parallel or strait lines? The optical illusion has received over 2.7 lakh views since being shared on Twitter on June 5—and that number is still rising. People have also commented in the comments section as a result of the share.
