Reverse Distance contains two sections, one having to do with depth perception and the other with eye-hand coordination. The latter involves trying to touch the tips of two bent nylon rods together, while looking through prisms that reverse right and left. While the visitor's hand moves the rod one way, their eyes tell them it’s moving the other way. When there’s a conflict between these two senses, the brain tends to attend to the eyes first, making it difficult to get the tips together. The other part of the exhibit consists of two differently-colored rods of the same size which rotate around one another. Since the prisms reverse what is seen, normal distance clues are also reversed, and the nearer rod appears further away.
