Hidden Realities: Exploring Pareidolia in Synthetic Landscapes

Dive into a world of hidden images and pareidolia as we explore seeing entities in familiar shapes. Discover overdeveloped pattern matching faculties and how to hide images within natural or abstract forms. Uncover the secrets of 3D models with extra degrees of freedom and multiple viewable images. Explore movement in landscapes, encoding image sequences, and the enigmatic world of anamorphs. Join us on a journey to uncover the unseen in synthetic landscapes.

  3. Seeing Things • Pareidolia: "A vague image falsely recognized as something familiar." • overdeveloped pattern matching faculties

  4. + = ?

  5. Hiding Images • What should we hide? • faces, human forms • arbitrary images • What should we hide it in? • natural forms: clouds, landscape, foliage • artificial or abstract forms

  6. 3D Models • Have extra degrees of freedom • viewing direction • lighting conditions • How best to exploit these? • Can conceal multiple images in a landscape, each viewable from a unique vantage • "haunted forest": ghosts seem to appear

  7. Movement • Time is yet another dimension • Moving forms cause images to appear and disappear • water flowing • tree branches moving • lightning flashing • Can we encode image sequences? How?

  8. Anamorphs • Pictures whose content can only be interpreted from a certain viewpoint, or under a viewing transformation • How can we build anamorphic sculptures? • Multi-viewpoint anamorphic sculptures?
