How to experience

Please experience the exhibit following the instruction on the panel.

Description

"Hengento Projection" is a technology using monochrome moving patterns projected onto a still object to make it look as if the object is moving. The human brain analyzes the color, shape and movement of an object separately and synthesizes them to perceive movement. The only thing projected by the Hengento Projection is movement, and though the color and shape of the still image is not moving, the brain will use its corrective function to process the inconsistencies of the information. Using this phenomenon, the illusion of movement can be given to an object captured by the human eye.
