Can anyone here see this?

[mxyzptlk]

Yea, I'm good at seeing these kinds of stereograms. can't see magic eye for shit though.

I've seen stereograms before and I'm usually able to see them without much trouble, but yours was really, really hard to see. Took a lot of effort for whatever reason. I was able to eventually get it into focus, but you should play with a few different things to see which works best.

I think the reason this one is more difficult is because of the short depth of field and how blurry the background is. I kept trying to get the background to come into focus even though that's not possible. Seeing these is two steps for me: 1st step is to cross my eyes until a third image appears between the two real images and is about the same width. 2nd step is to bring that 3rd image into sharp focus. Since the background is so blurry on this pic, the 2nd step is harder.

I can't, my 34 inch CRT is too big and my eyes cant cross that much area LOL. Nah, on my 22inch LCD I can see it fine...looks pretty cool...what is it? Pollen, beads?

Wow, after I learned the trick, that site + the one in the OP are all very good. I found that I had to stay cross-eyed and let my eyes focus, which, after only a few attempts, took less than 2 seconds. By the end, I was able to scroll through that webpage and look at each picture without unfocusing and simply viewing the next stereo image. Very cool stuff.

So, ATOT, can you see the 3D image?

Yes, but I knew how to do that years ago. I don't think the picture itself makes that much of a difference when you know how to do it.

However, the difference that 3D makes to a picture is very interesting -- as any photographer knows, often the image you thought you took is nothing like the image that appears on the print, and this is largely because you saw the subject in 3D and the image isn't. Some of the linked pictures were much more successful than others in giving you something for the crossing effort.

Worked for me!

Stereogram photography is where you take 2 pictures of the same object about as far apart as human eyes are. When you place the two images next to one another and cross your eyes, a 3D image appears in the middle.

I created one to test it out and see if I could do it, and I think it works great. But every single person I've shown the image to says they don't see anything.

I'm kind of seeing the 3D, but not 3 images. More of a narrower, black image in the middle and the outer images pop a bit.

I think for it to work well you need a specific view distance calculated to the image size, as well as Full-screen image adjusted per the individual's monitor dimensions?

The image in the center should be exactly the same width as the 2 outside images when your eyes are crossed. Maybe you can't cross your eyes enough to obtain the effect? Try moving away from the monitor (if you haven't already).

LOL, you have forever crushed my spirit.

The ones on the linked website work fine for me and don't seem any easier to focus on than the one I posted. I'm probably just biased, though.

Well, they make stereo viewers, which are simply elongated goggles with mirrors placed over the side-by-side image that do the eye-crossing for you.

In my experience, those work really well. I've never been able to create a good stereo effect without the goggles.

OK, so now I've confirmed that I suck at the eye-crossing.

That blows, stereoscopic images are seriously awesome, but it sucks that many people can't see them correctly.

I see it but the mushrooms seem out of focus. It's different from normal stereograms because those require you to spread out your eyes to focus on a point beyond them while you need to cross your eyes to see this type. This type gives me a headache.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I've never been able to do those. My eyes just get all watery and tired from trying.

stereoscopic porn is the best

The salt crystals are good.

Here are some of mine.
The skulls page doesn't seem to load in FF but does in IE. Guess I need a new script. My pics use the stare into space method, not the cross your eyes method.
