A practical survey of static visual illusions that begins with eye anatomy and the mechanics of perception, then documents geometrical, equivocal, and directional illusions, effects of angles, depth and distance distortions, irradiation and brightness-contrast, and color interactions. The later sections discuss lighting, natural examples, applications in painting, decoration, architecture, mirror phenomena, and camouflage, illustrated with experiments and figures and oriented toward practical use by designers and lighting practitioners.
