I have trouble seeing these pictues, can you tell me how I can see it?

(I am talking about those pictures that will have a hologram image when you concentrate and look at it properly)

I can't do them because I have an under-developed optic nerve, different focal lengths, etc. sucks.

at least this is what I'm blaming it on.

Just stare at the image until it starts to overlap itself, happens sooner with some than others. Once you get the hang of it it will happen more often. I found that if you TRY to do it it won't happen, you just got to stare and let your eyes do the work.

What, my strategy never fails me. As I said, do the thing with your eyes and it works.

would you tell me your strategy?

It's what I said. Do the thing with your eyes and it works.
















What I do is cross my eyes partially, and then allow them to "straighten" out without me interfering conciously. I allow them to focus on the hidden image without me interfering. Basically, I start out viewing distance, cross, then allow to straighten. Don't conciously interfere or it won't work. Allos your eyes to find it for you.

imagine the paper is a pane of glass. when you look at the paper normally, its like looking at some dust or spots on the glass itself. try looking through the glass.

No you can't try. If you try, it doesn't work. You have to let your subconsciouseness focus.

What I do is move the image so it touches my nose, focus on it, and then move it away while keeping the same focus.

Put your finger between your eyes and the paper or screen. Focus on the paper not on your fingertip. Adjust the distances until you see a double image of your fingertip under both pictures, then focus on your fingertip. You'll be cross eyed and it's a half assed 3d image.

I say half assed because who the hell wants to look at images cross eyed? Not me. I can do it, but it's retarded IMHO.


A real 3d image is a hologram made on holographic plates or film with a laser and requires no such stunts and produces a real 3d image.

i assume what you mean to say is "that's an interesting approach. it doesnt work for me, but hopefully it will work for others as well as it has for you. have a nice day."

If the picture is framed, I focus on my reflection, then let my eyes find the object.

After some pratices I can see it in about 5 seconds everytime.

What I do is stare at it really close. Then back away a little bit. REally is actually quite easy once you kno how to do it. Very hard to teach it though, ahah.

Ok, I can give some good insight into this question and its history, actually:

1) To resolve 3D images, currently our brain "fuses" two images together and uses them to interpret a distance. Notice that if you close one eye, and open the other, and then reverse them, an image in the distance will change only slightly, whereas an image very close to your eyes will change significantly (try it with your finger).

2) Knowing this, those "Magic Eye Pictures" are actually called "Random Dot Stereograms". What they do is take a 3D picture (usually in the form of a black & white gradient) and then change ever so slightly the pixels in the picture, moving some closer to each other, and some farther away from each other, in order to fool your eye into fusing a 3D image.

3) Therefore, the best way to view one is to fool your eyes into fusing the image, put two fingers at the image, usually about ... 1" apart, and cross your eyes until the fingers overlap, now you're about half way there. You have to find the same distance that the "spaced pixels" are spread apart, as I mentioned, usually about 1" to generate a good 3D-image.

4) As someone mentioned holograms, I thought I would touch on that. Simply put, a 2D image is a reproduction of the intensity of an image, whereas a hologram actually reproduces the entire three-dimensional wavefront -- it is as if they took the same light that the hologram reflected, transported it, and then re-emitted it to your eye.

I hope that helps.

I thought it was impossible for years until someone told me a easy way to see them.

Look at something and focus on it hard about 2-3 feet away then put it a foot in front of your face and still focus on the 1st object. If you keep looking through the hologram and not at it it jumps out pretty quick try that. I couldn't see for years and then boom that worked great!

enjoy!

I put it really close to my face, like almost touching, then slowly move it away, but don't focus right on the picture. But then, doing that made me go crosseyed.
