An optical illusion called the Necker cube consists of a simple two-dimensional drawing of a cube that appears to have two different three-dimensional orientations due to the lack of visual cues. The impossible staircase is another optical illusion where the stairs appear to change in height but it is impossible in reality. The Penrose triangle also creates an illusion of a three sided shape in three dimensions through perpendicular lines although it is a flat, open figure.
