I just discovered how to properly view stereoscopic images, or an image that is directly beside a copy of itself. You cross your eyes until there is another image in the middle, then try to focus on that. If you do it right, the image pops out in 3D!
Post some stereoscopic images! I suck at imageshack and whatnot so I can't!

I was really good in recognizing those 3D images hidden in homogeneous pattern, which made your ezes go :grr: , :erm: , :weird: , or :eww: , depending on how you looked at them. I guess they have banned them since then, for causing dramatic eye disfiguration to some people.

So... you're saying that all these years you've been ignoring the directions that say to do exactly that?

ZB How long have you been an utter 'tard? Wow, just noticed that.
Yeah, it's like an enlightenment when you can see these things for the first time. Nobody bothers to read the instructions though, you're right.

The instructions are normally something vague like "cross your eyes and move the picture away from you until you see it." which never works for me.
I will have to try the new method and see if that helps!

Instructions were rubbish. You need to learn to unfocus your eyes and then it's all very very easy.

Just be sure not to mix things up.
There are two ways to cross your eyes.
One is focus-in halfway, and usually works when they put two pictures side by side. This, for me, is pretty easy.
The other is focus-out twice the distance, like focusing on a back wall and then move the image in the middle, crossing pieces in the other direction. This usually works for the sterograms, the speckled images. This, for the life of me, I can never do.
The thing is, if you cross your eyes the wrong way for the wrong thing, it inverts near and far.
For a long time, before I figured all this out, I couldn't always understand what they were really wanting (esp when my eyes just can't physically handle focusing-out on command for some reason ... the directions were telling me "how" to do something I couldn't, but not well explaining "what" it was that my focus should be doing to cross pieces). Then I figured out I could see the speckled stereograms if I just didn't follow directions and easily crossed my eyes, but then it's inverted. Still better than nothing.

Following the instructions or not, I've never been able to see Stereoscopic images, be they on a computer screen on blown up to 8' poster size on a wall.
As it tends to make my eyes hurt trying, I've given up as I suspect it's actually an Emperor's New Clothes scam - no one can actually see anything in those dots, y'know.
