Hering Illusion – Parallel Lines

The Hering illusion was discovered by Ewald Hering, a German physiologist in 1861. In this illusion, two red lines are parallel to each other but they don’t seem to due to the back lines. These red lines look like bulging out from the center but actually that distortion is due to overestimation of the angle made at the points of intersection.
