Question: What do you see in the red circles? A bottle, a cell phone, a person, a shoe? The answer: They're all the same. Professor Antonio Torralba created these low-resolution images, in which the circled shapes were inserted and are all identical, to demonstrate how context affects our recognition of objects. Even the 'car' in the lower left image is the same object.
