I'm still not getting it... all I could see is the image split up into three after I cross my eyes :| :|

To anyone who's having trouble, it's important to keep your head parallel to your monitor for the full effect.

Thats the first step. Once you get the 3 images, you have to focus on the middle one. Sometimes you will loose focus and go back to 2, but keep at it. Its hard to explain it... but you brain focus on the middle picture like a out of focus digicam. You just get it in a second... and then you can do it over and over again. :)

The technique is nothing like the magic pictures. For these you actually have to cross your eyes. The magic pics were more of a focus beyond what you are looking at.

The effect is outstanding. I've never seen this before. It is making me dizzy though.

Well, we all know fapping makes you go blind.

And staring cross-eyed makes you go blind.

So.....fapping WHILE staring cross-eyed? Blind twice as fast? Or, do they cancel out?

Inquiring minds....
 

Gah, I can't see it and now I have white spots all in my left eye. BASTARD!

Nice bewbs tho!

I can't do it... whats the picture in the middle?

You gotta cross your eyes just enough to see a third image in the middle. You then focus on it till it becomes clear.


I can get the middle image clear but it still doesn't look any more 3d :(

These are much more difficult wearing contact lenses than they are with glasses...you can't keep your eyes open as long with contacts!

doing it cross-eyed is easy...try doing it by straightening your eyes!

also, can anyone clearly explain why the 3d image appears smaller than the 2 originals? is your brain tricking itself?

Wow. That's pretty cool. I thought it would take too long and since I'm at work it may look weird that I'm staring at this image. In reality, it only took like 15 seconds.

Hmm. Images are the wrong way round.

Bits that should be sticking out, are sunken in. Not good.

Much, much better after flipping the image horizontally.
