An experiment in perspective illusions!

Location: Mind Zone on the Lower Level
The anamorphic ladder is an unusually constructed ladder that uses distorted pieces and angles. When observed from a special viewing point, the ladder appears to be completely normal.
Because of the special arrangement of the pieces of the distorted ladder, the image received by the eye, when viewed from a certain perspective, is exactly the same as the image that would be produced by a normal ladder. Without some other visual cues (lighting, shadows), the eye cannot tell the difference between the normal and distorted shapes.
