Ames Room

Through the process of multiple people entering Ames' room, observe the phenomena observed and understand the principles of Ames' room. The exhibit is an interactive experience space, which includes a monitor. Visitors enter the room, with children standing in one corner and adults standing in the other. A third person outside the room looking at them from a specific location will see the scene of children being taller than adults. The Ames room provided an incorrect background, with the back wall not parallel to the observer but sloping, and the floor masking this tilt, with people coming closer and farther away.

The description of the internal connections between storylines and exhibits, as well as the perception and consciousness of the human body, by Eim.

Interaction type: Interactive space. The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

The Ames Room is a perceptual demonstration conducted by American psychologist Adelbert Ames. The specific operation process is as follows: two people of the same height, one standing at the farthest point of the room extension, and the other standing at the end of the indentation. There was a huge visual height difference between the two people in an instant, and without actual height measurement, no one would believe that they were the same height. This phenomenon is the misperception caused by constant size. Size constancy refers to placing two objects of equal size, one at a distance and the other at a distance. Although the image of the nearby object on the observer's retina is much larger than that of the distant object, we consider them to be of the same size. But this perception is known to the experimental operator, and when an uninformed observer observes through images, the illusion of size constancy can create a visual illusion. Reference materials.
