Is this explained somewhere? That’s really cool.

I’m thinking camera tricks with a lot of technical language thrown in to add legitimacy.

It appears to be a hoax.

A little camera trickery. Cute but not much else. Look not at what moves but what doesn’t. The signs in the empty stairwell at the right are worth watching.

It’s nothing more than a spliced recording, a sight gag.

The Escherian Stairwell at RIT near Rochester, NY. There is an open house on that campus TODAY, Saturday, 05/04/13 according to the full video clip and the school's web site; "RIT.EDU/imagine".

You’re going to need to keep your masturbatory anticipation to yourself if you expect to remain here, noob.

Yup the Escherian stairwell is an illusion that works in 2 dimensions but is impossible in 3.

I don’t think so, because the people walking up the stairs experience the illusion. It’s not just in the video that we saw. I don’t understand the explanation that is given in the video, and I can’t find anything clear online that explains what the illusion is.

Throw a grappling hook up between the railings. Could you pull yourself back down, or would you bean yourself in the head with it, lol?

I graduated from RIT. This stairwell doesn’t exist.

The reason you could not understand the illusion is that any explanation is false. It’s false, only an illusion.

“I don’t think so, because the people walking up the stairs experience the illusion.”

And David Copperfield’s assistants really believe he went through the Great Wall.

The people on the stairs are part of show. Watch the signs on the wall in the empty stairwell. Watch the tight shots of the people going up the stairs.

Camera trickery and not very well done at that!
