:why:

Shewie, Tom ...? Can I come play with you lot on the trikes ??


If I posted what I've been muttering for the last 10 minutes I'd have a swarm of dragon headed mods' burning me off the forum, never mind a simple ban

These things shouldn't be allowed !!

Glad I'm not the only one then.

I saw the tree and the Heart, easy I remember back in the nineties going round shops with friend when the "Magic eye" stuff came out.
There was one "cheepie" shop that had about 20 on display, my friends and i stared at them for ages, it must have looked very strange! Half of us could see them all the time the other half just thought we were mad!

I still have a poster (from that time) of the space shuttle floating with jupiter behind it!
It's shame you can't see the 3D effect all the time ( I think that was the design flaw!)

Aww come folks.. no one gonna use it to makes something better? With all the talent on here I'd have thought someone would have embarrassed me by now..

Try putting something about 2-3 feet behind your monitor, focus on that for 5-10 seconds, then quickly move your eyes to the monitor without trying to focus on it.

I kind of get the bottom of the heart thing but I don't think I'm seeing what everyone else seems to.

It could be my super duper laser vision or the fact I spend about 11 hours a day staring into a computer screen.

Easiest way to see the picture is to look at it then go slightly cross eyed.

 

[stevesteve]

If you're short-sighted, try taking your specs off, get close enough to focus then allow your eyes to drift to stare through it to infinity.

I used to be able to 'read' stereo pairs of aerial photo's quickly that way before putting them under the optical viewer.

Cheers,
Steve

Fot the first time ever I have been able to see the pretty pictures - I got realy close to the screen, defocussed my eyes and jiggled the picture up and down....
My eyes ache now!

 

[Cobweb]

Cross eyed works well , but for the first one you have to look through the screen.

The cross eye'd one is easier than the look through one but you can do it after a while!

 

[hiho]

reight i give in, i'm off to hide in the corner

I printed the heart out and looked at it upside down. I then saw two hearts, one on top of another but upside down. When I looked at the print out the right way up I could still see the two hearts. I hadn't noticed that there was two until then.

 

[scrogger]

I've never been able to see them either - I don't think they work if you have one strongly dominant eye.
