The first one looks like a bottle, the second looks chubbier, and the third looks great.
Very effective demonstration, actually kind of impressive how successful it was.

She has different proportions in each picture. I can't tell if it was three different pictures, or they edited one picture and shaved down some spots depending on the dress.
Yes in the third picture which we all think she looks the best, there's more space between her arms and her body than there are in the other two pictures. They definitely shaved down something so she's thinner in the third picture.
Why the hell do horizontal stripes make you look thicker?
Because our brains are dumb
I have trouble estimating her position, direction and velocity.
I call shenanigans!
Gj. Thanks for demonstrating this picture is bs.
Not same pose. Look at the different size gaps between elbows and body.
When they said the same pose, they just mean they are front facing, arms to the side, as opposed to different positions for each dress. It's pretty darn close. She had to change dresses between shots, so the poses aren't going to be perfectly identical, but they are close enough to make the point that a person looks different depending on the stripes.
Do you really think that extra half inch of daylight between her arm and body somehow faked the result?
The way to do this would be to edit the dress in Photoshop or similar. One picture, three designs and the model is the same in each.
Computer model with dress (e.g. Unreal Metahuman). Change the material but dimensions stay exactly equal.
Agreed
Nope, I wouldn't fully believe it. Actual photos are much more convincing.
I don't trust any photo manipulation for any reason. I understand that it is often necessary for economic, artistic, or graphic design efficiency, but for things I have to trust, I want real photos.
Absolutely. When the post is about how things look different based on the patterns chosen, everything we're looking at has to be the same or we can't really compare.
This isn't a peer-reviewed drug study, it's just a demonstration. Things don't have to be absolutely perfect to demonstrate the basic concept that the orientation of the stripes makes a difference in perception.
If she was facing front on one pose, sideways for another, and facing backwards for another, I'd agree with you. But three front facing photos, in the same pose, shot from the same distance in the same light, is good enough to demonstrate the difference effectively. I would much rather have this display, over a faked display of the same photo, with the dress patterns applied with AI or something. Then I would doubt the result. But doing it this way convinces me.
If you are demonstrating an optical illusion then the width of the subject must be measurable equal.
I'm sold on the third one being best. Good enough for the Internet.
Also the i think the different collars matters. Low No collar, high black collar, high no collar.

Razzle dazzle camouflage!
I'm genuinely surprised so many people are familiar with this.
It's something talked about in perception courses/classes.
The lines make it difficult for humans and machines to accurately gauge depth perception.
For humans it's related to mach bands. And the way lateral inhibition works.

It's the Internet. By now, a lot of people have seen photos of those striped WWII ships.

Despite being the same lovely woman, I am infinitely more attracted to her in the horizontal stripes.
Hips looks wide.
The vertical is the worst of them.
Just wondering, are you a PoC?
