Nice to see that there's still some wonder left in the world.

Okay, I do not suffer from a fear of heights, but playing tennis on the Dubai Tower (Burj Dubai) would give me the willies.
(By the way, would not the wind currents at that altitude make it nearly impossible to play?)

Picture #11, the hovering word illusion, is actually an artistic style that is now being used as inexpensive art in many buildings. Ironically, it is not terribly difficult to make.
All you need is an overhead projector of the kind everyone was familiar with in school. Then you put a slide on the projector that shows an elaborate 2D image, either black and white, or in color. Then you project the image at an angle so that the light will cross different surfaces like an inside wall, and through an open doorway to the wall on the other side.
When leaving the projector on, you just trace the lines, then paint where the tracings show you where to paint.
Importantly, the 3D effect will only work from the point where the projector was sitting, so you want that point to be where people would normally stand.
Here are some examples of how the illusion is easily created:

You'll never believe this, but the man in the middle was stoned out of his mind at the time!
