Why is it that every time a MYSTERIOUS PHOTO goes viral, it involves a DRESS?
A woman named Tessa Coates claims she was so creeped out by a photo of herself at a bridal shop, trying on a wedding dress . . . that she almost vomited in the street.
In the photo, she's standing with her back to the camera, in front of two mirrors. The crazy thing is that the three versions of herself . . . the real Tessa, and the two reflections . . . each have her with her arms in DIFFERENT POSITIONS.
Tessa says that the image is not photoshopped, and it wasn't taken with any special functions, like "live" image or panorama. She said it was a legit photo straight from an iPhone, and that's why she was so disturbed by it.
She joked that it could be a "glitch in the matrix."
So Tessa took it to a "Genius Bar" at an Apple Store to show it to one of their experts. Several employees were as confused as she was . . . but one of the bosses, "Roger," knew what it was.
Roger explained that the iPhone isn't a camera; it's a computer, and the way it captures images is by taking a burst of shots . . . left to right . . . and then stitches them together, virtually instantaneously.
He said that a quick movement of her arms . . . combined with the mirrors . . . created a "one-in-a-million" illusion.
Tessa seems satisfied by that . . . but some people online are STILL having trouble buying it, since it seems like if this were the case, more people would've discovered "glitches" in their images too.
There's no OFFICIAL comment or explanation from Apple, but someone else suggested that it might be a result of some new technology that Apple is beta-testing, which tries to enhance photos by combining multiple elements.
