I love how naturally the brain "filters out" the shadow helper guys... and how it quickly accepts the sudden "change of angle" so it really feels like you're suddenly looking from a top-down perspective.

Optics are cool.

PS: Google translated the German to: "Crazy Japanese shows like Stabhochsprung really goes!" :P

"A crazy Japanese person shows how the pole vault is really done" would be a much better translator. Which is why auto-translating websites are bad news for language arts until they can get the grammar right.

Yeah, I was pointing out that the *grammar* didn't translate properly. German and Dutch sentence structure is quite a bit different than English sentence structure. Translating Chinese would probably be even harder...
