Stereograms

[asra]

I used to love to play with these as a kid, and I tried them out with my poetry class last semester (to illustrate the idea of hidden meanings in texts). I'm going to annoy my colleagues with these during a session I'm doing for them tomorrow. *g* Try them out - it can be intensely frustrating at first if you don't see the 3D image right away, but once you get the hang of it, the results can be magical. My favourite of these is the third one.

P.S.: The first is the easiest to see, but the second link has the best instructions.

99% of the time I can't see anything when I look at this kind of pictures. Couldn't make out any of the ones you posted.

It took me a really really long time to start seeing them, but it was easy after that.

I couldn't see anything either. For the top two I could make out a 3-D-ish distortion in the pattern but not a discernible picture. Honestly, when these things were a fad, they made me SOOOOO ragey because I have NEVER been able to see any regardless of instructions. These instructions were very clear,but I can't see it. I have literally never been unable to see any other kind of "illusion" so these really piss me off tbh lol

It's actually a very clear 3D image, so you either see it or you don't. Apparently, not everyone can see them.

I love those kinds of things but depending on my eye tiredness depends on my ability to see them.

It's definitely one of those things that depends on whether your eyes want to cooperate or not. *g*

When I was younger it used to be a lot easier. But I got one, at least. :)
