The Magic Eye Challenge

[Nagual]

I'm sure many of you have heard of Magic Eye before. If not it's basically a hidden 3D picture inside a pattern. It works by unfocusing your eyes on the image and letting your brain essentially be tricked in to seeing the image. It can take a bit of practice to get the hang of sometimes. Anyway, I was playing with an online magic eye creator and made the image below... so the challenge is really can you do better? I'll admit I only quickly made this one, and it's not the best by far.. so should be very easy for more talented people out there to beat!

Make it outdoors or bushcrafted related though

Made from easy stereogram builder

No idea what the tree is, I got it from a clip art site. The technique is very simple in theory, although some people have greater difficulty than others. For some reason people who wear glasses often find it easier too. If you do wear glasses take them off, sit maybe about a foot or so from the picture and let your eyes go out of focus. Move your eyes slightly about the image, you should start start to see different 'depths' in places, the image of the tree should appear. To be fair if, you've never had much luck at these, the above image isn't the best to start out on.

Try this one, it's a big heart shape in the middle of the pic.:

I see a tree but the trunk is a bit thin. Thought it was a cloud to start with.

Edit: You posted the heart before I had a chance. That is a bit chested heart!!!

 

[Barney]

That's a heart with cleavage

I wear glasses and cannot see it whilst wearing them, but can without. Try going slightly boss eyed if you're having trouble seeing it, then just let your eyes do the rest of the work. Don't try to force it. If you see a regular pattern, go boss eyed enough that they overlap.

Ahhhhh! I've been trying these since they came out! It's the first time I've ever seen anything! miracles do happen!

Now I'm having trouble re-focusing my eyes though...

I like the heart one. I love magic eye they do feel like some kind of magical divination. All of a sudden you can just see it and even focus your eyes on it.

 

[Barney]

I can still see them from 8 feet away

 

[verloc]

i cant see them. feel like the last kid to get both his stablisers off

I feel you Verloc. took me what, 10-15 years, until just now! Just need a bit of patience I reckon. Good luck!

 

[Minstrel]

I find if I go boss eyed the 3D tree appears as as having depth going behind the 'background'. If I let my eyes relax away from cross eyed the tree is in 3D coming out at me

Anyone else get that??

You should NOT have posted that link - I've just wasted an hour of my life!
