Camera Obscura
Orientation & disorientation
Known in full as Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, this attraction is packed with all sorts of mind-bending and interactive illusions that will stimulate and entertain kids and adults alike.
The camera obscura itself is an intriguing contraption with a gloriously vintage feel. A distant ancestor of the modern camera, this pin-hole camera roves Edinburgh and projects the cityscape onto a table.
Though this intriguing contraption is, in theory, the main attraction, today it's rather overshadowed by all the other mirrored trickery, entertaining illusions and warped images that spread over several floors below.
