Club Illusion
Impossible cube
The impossible cube or irrational cube is an impossible object that draws upon the ambiguity present in a Necker Cube illustration. An impossible cube is usually rendered as a Necker Cube in which the edges are apparently solid beams. This apparent solidity gives the impossible cube greater visual ambiguity than the Necker Cube, which is less likely to be perceived as an impossible object. The illusion plays on the human eye's interpretation of two-dimensional pictures as three-dimensional objects.
Viewed from another angle, however, the non-impossibility of the shape is apparent-its cubic nature itself is an illusion.
