The science behind the impossible room

▼ In The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Frodo the hobbit appears minuscule beside the absurdly tall wizard, Gandalf. But in reality, the pair of actors have a mere 5-inch height difference. How did director Peter Jackson ­exe­cute such a sizable deceit?
Hobbits appearing doll size, tourists pinching a grain-of-salt-size Eiffel Tower for Instagram, and beachgoers standing atop a body of water are all made possible by something called forced perspective, a technique that uses changes in distance and vantage point to hijack the way our minds perceive size.
Take the Ames room, as depicted above. This seemingly normal space allows anyone to dramatically increase in size when they walk from one end of the expanse to another. (▪ ▪ ▪)
