To demonstrate the amazing print quality of their Pixus inkjet printers Canon has put together a series of incredibly cool Gundam characters to print, characters that seem to spring to life. The optical illusion of the final output looks odd initially but it’s really impressive with a convincing feeling of depth when viewed from just the right angle.

For fans of Gundam and optical illusions Canon have the characters on their promo website, there is a lot of click guessing involved but it’s well worth it.

Presented for your viewing pleasure is the Canon video that will trick you mind for just a moment, proving just how effective these forced perspective optical illusions can be. Sit back, relax and remember that the printer is mightier than the Gundam sword.
