Have you ever seen a 2D building in real life? This viral optical illusion image, which appears to be a 2D building, has left netizens confused. While it’s clearly an image of a real-life building, it’s so confusing that some viewers joke that the other half of the building was forgotten during construction. “They just made the glasses and said ‘okay’,” one user humorously commented. Optical illusions leave you confused and longing for an explanation. However, what caught netizens’ attention was an image on Reddit that has now gone viral. But why is this illusion so annoying, you might ask? Well, at first glance, the building looks like a flat sheet of glass, but upon closer inspection, it is revealed as a 3D structure in the shape of a triangle. The image shows multiple buildings standing next to each other, but in between them is a tall glass-like panel. This panel looks like a building from the front but is extremely thin and paper-thin. With 8,000 upvotes and countless comments, this photo has attracted the curiosity of thousands of users. Some users expressed confusion in the comments section: One Reddit user put on their thinking cap and proposed the hypothesis that the viewer’s perspective forms an acute angle with the building. Another user humorously commented: “A glitch in the matrix,” echoing a third user’s sentiment.

The only reasonable explanation for such an illusion was given by a user who pointed out that the building looks like a triangle when viewed from one side. However, from the viewer’s perspective, it looks like a flat panel due to the viewing angle. Another user contributed to the clarity by explaining: “If it’s still confusing anyone, imagine it’s the vertex of a triangle. It widens and then gets square – back from this perspective.”For those who are curious about where and how the photographer captured this photo, you can visit the link below:https://goo.gl/maps/5BmpPxBqQzsC4oWB7
