MacWorld Guy

Is the guy looking at you or the computer?

In 1999, I was at the Moscone Center attending the MacWorld Conference. This conference had a lot of attention around the newly announced Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White).

They had displays of the computer all over the exhibit floor so that people could see the new design and styles.

I took a picture of one of the computers in the Apple Booth:

Strange Stare Effect

If you look carefully in the picture - there's a guy on the right looking at the computer.

When you look/stare at the computer the guy appears to be staring at you!

Try it!

Look at the guy, and you can see that he is clearly looking at the computer. Now look at the computer and in your puerperal vision you'll see the guy looking at you.

I tried touching up the photo so the guy is a bit easier to see, but the effect goes away.
