I could never see them before. I just keeped looking and crossing my eyes.
It turns into a 3D pic of yinandyang.
I had one come out of my screen 3 feet and I could put my finger through it

for most ppl it's easier to make a printout, put it behind a glass screen (so u have a slight mirror effect) and focus your face in the 'mirror'. Then the pic ought to come.

How big should the picture be? a hole a4 paper
? or should the picture be a very small size?
[edit] Hey cool
I just saw the 3d images in those pictures
pretty cool
, how longer you see the 3d image, the beter you can see the 3d image, but if you lost the image by moving your head backwards, you can feel it in your eyes
somekind of pressure haha pretty weird

Hehe, tried it but I couldn't "see" the yinyang.
Okay this one isn't a stereogram but quite weird:

From the site ? "In the image above the strong (and beautiful) rotation of the ?wheels? occurs in relation to eye movements. On steady fixation the effect vanishes".
In other words the image does not move!
More of these optical illusions:

ok heres the small disclaimer
Code: Select all
Please note that only 85-90 percent of people are able to see stereographic pictures in a three-dimensional way
heres the technique for it:
Code: Select all
To recognize the hidden image in the stereogram a special viewing technique is required. Choose your favourite method from the following:
Method 1
Put your face close to the stereogram. Allow your eyes to relax, and stare right through the stereogram as if your eyes were focused at a point behind the surface of the stereogram. Slowly move away from the stereogram without changing the position of your eyes.
Method 2
Look at your own reflection (or the reflection of another light source) in the screen. Slowly shift your attention to the stereogram on screen without changing the position of your eyes.
Method 3
This method uses the afterburner spot object from Surface 3D Release 2.
Look at the two dots located at the top or bottom of the stereogram and relax your eyes. Now you should see four blurred dots. Slowly adjust your gaze to merge two of them. Now you should see only three dots. Once you achieved that let your eyes slowly wander into the stereogram, the hidden image should now appear.
Please be patient should you not be able to see the image immediately.

yay! I can see!
I used method 3, after awhile my sight went into a blurry '3d-mode' (ya know, as if you're drunk:). Hint: the yin-yang image is about the size of a cd.

You forgot to set "thereisnomonkey 0"

)
