Hey, all.

Have any of you heard of Stereograms? (Or, Magic Eyes)

They're pictures that look like jumbled bits of nothing at first glance, but if you stare at them with crossed/lazy eyes, you can see a 3D image.

I've stumbled upon a website where you can make your own, if you'd like to try it. If you don't have the energy to make a masked image to try it out, you can always search the web for already-made ones.

I made this one here to test it out. Let me know if any of you can see what it is!

Anyway, feel free to post any Stereograms you've made, ones you've found online, or even tricky ones you can't quite figure out yourself!

-------------------------

WARNING!
If you want to try to figure the stereograms out yourself, don't look past this first post. Answers have been posted in the replies below.

Ok, then.

I want to post a disclaimer with these, and say I've made none of them aside from the clown one. All were found online.

Here's the next one:

Once you tell me what this is, I'll post the answer

Glad you like them!

Haha! Here's the answer!

And here's another stereogram for you. This one is one of my favorites because it's so easy to see!

Never in my entire life have i been able to do these. I just don't understand how people are able to see the 3d pictures. Lazy eyes/cross eyes do not work for me.

Ok, I see some of you are having troubles.

Check out these tips I picked up somewhere:

If you've never viewed stereograms before, you're in for a treat - and perhaps some frustration. The key to viewing stereograms is the ability to alter the focus of one's eyes. In doing so, what once was viewed as a flat two dimensional image will reveal itself as a hidden third dimension. The following viewing techniques should help most viewers to successfully alter their focus.

Technique: Most computer screens are reflective to some extent. Find the reflection of any light or window in the monitor and focus on that. After a short while your eyes may reinterpret the depth of the image and reveal the three dimensional picture. Some variation in distance from your monitor may be needed.

Technique: Move your head as close to the computer monitor as you can (until your nose touches if you can). Look vacantly into the screen without focusing on the image. When you're eyes feel comfortable, slowly move back from the screen without refocusing. It may be easier to print the image, hold the printed version to your nose, and then slowly move the paper away.

Technique: A slight variation of the above technique works in the opposite manner. Stare at an object in the distance. Without refocusing, move the printed image (or laptop screen) into your line of sight. It will appear blurry and within a few seconds the three dimensional image may reveal itself.

Technique: If the above suggestions are not helpful, try this more direct approach. Hold a finger or pencil straight up and stare at it. Attempt to alter your focus and produce two pencils with your eyes (glance into the background if necessary). Practice this for a while and try to replicate the same eye manipulations while looking into a stereogram.

The end result of learning to view stereograms is the ability to see such images without using special techniques - the ability to alter your focus on command without much effort.

It's definitely a difficult one. I'm sure someone will get it though.

Could you make anything out of it at all?
