Mathematical Modeling of the Rubber Pencil Illusion
2016-04-20 11:21
This applet mathematically models the famous 'Rubber Pencil Illusion.' Using trigonometric functions, parametric equations, and transformations, it simulates the visual deformation of a rapidly shaken pencil. By adjusting sliders for amplitude, phase, and speed, users can observe how sinusoidal curves and trajectories interact, revealing the math behind this classic visual illusion.
