It looks pretty cool in 2d video, but I'm sure it would hardly work on folks with any depth perception. Those posters with people's eyes inset to the "follow" you when you move don't really work.

I guess you're the only one with depth perception, then.

Yes, that is a repost. I posted that lastnight. :) It does work, except you have to close one eye (unless you're a cyclops or blind in one.) Its easy, the only part is make sure you look at the pictures of "mountain folds" and "valley folds" because I did my first one without looking at that part, and it was "backwards" like, the head was pushed out, instead of caved in, so it didn't work. But yeah, I can't stop looking at it, and I really think I'm going to try this with another picture. Possibly a picture of my face or something. If I ever get around to it I'll try and post it for a vid.

If you stare at the center of the head for about five seconds you can see it. You have to like "trick" your eyes. It isn't hard for me to do now. I can look at it, and instantly pull the back to the front now. Before I couldn't. But then again, I've been staring at this thing all day long giving myself the willies.

I made a bunch of them for around work. They were a big hit.

I'd like to make one 4' X 5' on the plodder at work and put it out front of my house on Halloween. I wonder how many car accidents it would cause?

hahah... I tried making one right now and it came out like crap. Doesn't even have the effect. I shrinked it to fit my paper though (8 1/2 x 11 in)... wonder what I am doing wrong.

I can't figure the damn thing out...every time I fold it, it's backwards...the head is poking out.

Lol, just made one and was surprised how well it works on me. As a poster stated above if you have a hard time seeing it try closing one eye, it worked for me.
