Stereograms

[comoxer]

I can't for the life of me figure these things out, never been able to see the 3d image in them no matter how long and hard I stare.

Apparantly something to do with how both eyes work.

How the hell do you do it?

Say what you see: :farmer:

I can't see these things for the life of me...It's useless.

A rhino, a couple birds, a kangaroo, and an elephant.

I love these things

[edit] It doesn't help that the mosaic image doesn't repeat properly. I focussed too close, and then got a bunch of floating vertical bars the first time

You have to look at them close-up (literely inches from the screen depending on the resolution) and cross your eyes. Blowing the image up to fit the whole screen will help. I can see it but can't tell what it is.

Actually you're supposed to uncross your eyes, focussing on an imaginary point beyond the screen. Then after some practice you'll be able to bring the image into perfect focus while still "looking" at that imaginary, distant point.

 

[Sanada]

Ah, so you cross you eyes then slowly uncross them and then the image comes into view. Either way, your eyes hurt if you do it to much. :|

 

[Taboo]

It has to do with the way your eyes percieve visual information. Basically, you have to focus them on a distant point (esentially uncrossing your eyes) and the picture will come into focus. You get it with practice but I dont suggest doing it on a computer screen. Bad for ze eyesight.

Enjoy your headaches!

 

[Absinthe]

IT'S A SCOONER

 

[-Psy-]

Already seen that.

 

[Bad^Hat]

A boat, lol!

 

[CyberPitz]

I see buttsechs, no joking.

 

[Beerdude26]

GET OUTTA MY HEAD CHARLES

Also for the stereogram: I'm farsighted, I can't look so close to the screen without everything going blurry

 

[cheddarrr]

i love these things our grade school had one for our year book back in the 90's..

sigh..
lol

 

[TCfromBN]

A boat, lol!

epic win.

 

[Stigmata]

I hate sharks.

 

[ailevation]

whoa that effect is pretty awesome, shark attack!

 

[sinkoman]

 

[TCfromBN]

I can't figure out what that's supposed to be.


Maybe because I'm drunk...

 

[cheddarrr]

looks like a bananna in there.. and i cant tell what the rest is... but i can see it

 

[Stigmata]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

sinkoman, Cyberpitz is gonna love that one

 

[Krynn72]

A boat, lol!

DAMNIT, I was gunna say that. :angry:

 

[bam23]

Whatever it is, it sucks.

 

[Krynn72]

I can never make them out. I get the 3d effect, but its always too amorphous to make it out for me.

Doesn't matter if you cross or uncross. The effect is the same.
EDIT: nvm, the effect is opposite. If you uncross on the last one you can see into it, and when you cross your eyes you see a bump instead of a hole. Damn I spoiled it didn't I?

 

[Absinthe]

...A penis? I honestly do not know if I'm doing this right.

 

[StardogChampion]

The easiest way is to put your face really close to it then blur your eyes then pull your head back.

Yeah, I'm doing that. And I'm seeing shapes/figures. But they're completely unidentifiable to me, not to mention difficult to pick out in the first place. It just looks like an assortment of blobs cut into the image.

Hmmm... Maybe it's because of my glasses, as I usually wear lenses.

The shark was pretty cool. I've always wanted to see an animated stereogram and that's the closest I've seen. (I should just make one...)

The other 2 stereograms weren't very good. The animals aren't 3d, they're just flat animal shapes raised over a flat background. The other one isn't really anything, it's "abstract", I guess. You can clearly see discrete layers, instead of a continuous 3d effect, though. Probably made in about 60 seconds with a free download. I had program a long time ago that came with a book that made stereograms that look just like that.

 

[Stigmata]

Spoiler: Sinkoman's stereogram is Goatse

:O

 

[spookymooky]

I used to draw these in math class. Hard, but pretty neat.

 

[comoxer]

Maybe if it were a big pair of boobies id be able to see it better :cheese:

I made a thread about optical illusions a while ago. I'll repost my stuff here:

Young girl or old woman?

A vase or two faces?

More:

(The A & B squares are of the exact same colour and shade)

(Both spheres are of the same size)

(The horizontal grey bar is the same shade throughout)
