Title: Depth perception
Post by: Russian on January 10, 2008, 06:50:09 PM: http://www.eyecanlearn.com/random_dot_stereogram.htm

Someone suggested that if one can see those images, their depth perception is great :D so...who can see those?

Post by: Fulmar on January 10, 2008, 06:57:12 PM: I can make out the images, but not by how the directions tell me to. I look at the image cross-eyes for a few seconds and relax my crossing a little bit and the images will start to show the silhouettte.

Other than that what is the problem?

Russian, you might be a tad too close to the screen. The initial try screwed up my peepers for a moment but moving back a bit solved it. With my head two feet from the screen, they popped right out. Try throwing your eyes out of focus or crossing them slightly; that usually works. You might want to try finding a stereogram with the "training dots" at the bottom of the image. Those are an immense help if you've never looked at one before.

The secret, for me, was to just stare blankly at the artwork for 2-4 minutes and your brain slowly pieces it all together to the point, you only SEE the 3D image

Fun exercise!

It's not that I couldn't see them; I just thought it would've been a more difficult challenge that can't be shrugged off so easily. First time I tried to see a picture with magiceye many years ago, I couldn't. It took me some training...

Post by: cpxxx on January 12, 2008, 12:05:59 PM: These were all the rage in the early nineties. I never could see them then. Only recently I found a book of them my wife had and saw a few. But can't see anything in these images.

Post by: Blank on January 12, 2008, 12:56:52 PM: remember its also important to have your eyes horizontal, if you twist your head even a little, you cant see it.

Apart from that I've never had a problem with these kinda things, I do love em though :-)

especially liked the ones with little dolphins and the one with the little lions lineing the top, and the galloping horse was nice too.

I see 'em all. I usually just cross my eyes as firmly as I can and then slowly back off. Eventually the image will form.

Do the eye teaming exercises...after that, it's a breeze to look at the pictures and make your eyes focus properly.

When I first looked at them, to see the images, I had to look at a photo on my wall behind my monitor, then try to keep focus on that and look back at the screen.
