Eyeball Engineering

For all the frustrated engineers out there. There is always the guy who looks at something and tells you that the line or center is off. Now you can try your skill at using the eye.

This is tougher than it looks. It is not timed so take your time. It is fun to test your eyeball accuracy.
It can be "played" be AMHDer's of all ages and backgrounds. And don't let other's scores get to you. My eyesight isn't what it used to be either!

The eyeballing game (http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/)

Enjoy!

Hi, CaptainRich!

I tried it and it looks very interesting! Will post my scores after I'm been able to spend more time doing it.

Thanks!

This is a lot harder than it looked at first. I did get a 0.0 on one - the center of the circle. I do have good spatial sense. I'll have to go back and fiddle with this some more on the other shapes.

Hehehe! I warned you!
It's both difficult and addicting. Fun, too!
My best so far is 3.34. But, I had to tilt my head a lot! Hehehe
More practice, albear.

The best I've gotten so far is 2.90
But, I'm still playing with it. I did reset my screen resolution, as he recommended, and my right angle are much better!

Ok, I did horrible. Mine was 19.21 I kept screwing up big time on the point of convergence. I thought I knew what it meant, but I don't. Anybody care to help me?

My best now is 14 something. I still don't know what convergence is. Do you Spitvenom?

I think it is where all the lines should meet. But I did horrible at that!!

adam_89
Apr 14, 2009, 12:53 PM
I thought it meant that too, like where they should all meet and be equal, but that wasn't always the case. I guess I need to look up what a parrallagram is too. I thought for sure I was right on that one but I do second worst on that one.

Ok, I am getting better. My goal is to get less than 10. I am at 11.21 right now.

That damn Parallogram gets me the most. I have had about a 5.86 now. I have about mastered the convergence thing now but the parallogram keeps pissing me off.

Hi capt

Best so far is 3.81 Unless my monitor is off, the right angles are not always right angles.

Checked with a protractor and are as much as 3 degrees off
