Guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 These are my favorite kinds of optical illusions- stereograms. The point is to unfocus your eyes, while staring at the picture intently. If done correctly, an image should appear. Can you see it? http://www.vision3d.com/sghidden/saturn.html And how about a harder one? http://www.stereograms.net/horse.html Good luck!

0 andromeda Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Well... when I'm looking at the first one I feel like eating a raspberry cake... and when I'm looking at the second one it almost looks like something I could find under the microscope! So... I don't see it Edited January 12, 2009 by andromeda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Both of them?? no the first one is saturn i can see them both. i find it quite easy. What i do to see them is go cross eyed, then when then image appears you should be able to uncross and it will still be there. this allows you to get a better look at the entire image. Have you ever tried making grid paper or patterns 3D? quite fun Edited January 13, 2009 by clozobozo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried making grid paper or patterns 3D? quite fun saturn I saw it!!!! But it wasn't Saturn. I've seen multiple layers of colorful shiny flakes projecting out of the middle of the picture and they seamed like they are just inches away from my nose and then I tried to grab them with my hand (how childish ) and then it was gone, but then I could easily do it again since now I know how! edit: added spoiler edit: Thanks clozo! I've seen the second one too!!! It looks like there's an air bubble caught in a colorful glass. The air bubble is shaped like a horse and the transparent "glass" layer seemingly covering it is perfectly flat! Amazing illusions once you actually manage to see them!

No more time to edit <_< I've managed to see the Saturn too on the first picture (small one) when I tried to look at it again, but the first time the colorful flakes was the thing that I saw The good thing is that once you manage to see it you can move your eyes around (left/right/up/down) without losing the image edit: WTF? Now I've seen it like an air bubble inside the picture just like the horse? And it was bigger too!

0 Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have an advantage for these. I have an astigmatism. Basically, if I take my glasses off (they have a corrective prism) I almost can't help but to see the images in these things. Pretty cool.

I've seen the galleries of both web sites where these are taken from... I'm looking at these all the time... I'm obsessed Funny thing... the hardest one for me to focus was the easiest... the forest... I took me 10 times to cross my eyes and to start focusing slowly in order to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 akaslickster Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I can see these glass windows in the centers of each, but the shapes are obscure to me. Without my glasses, I can't find the windows. Very interesting, just the same. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Horse one was Brutal hard, but I also had my cat getting in my way so I had to try the cross-eyed trick and finally got it. I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head! Good ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dms172 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i haven't seen these in forever. i went and saw all of them on the website. the lizard one was super hard for me. i stared at for ten minutes left and came back and try again before i saw it.

0 randro Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 i found another way put your eyes really close to the screen so you nose is almost touching and then slowly go back and it should appear very easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 There are two ways to veiw them. Dialating and Crossing your eyes. for both of these you must dialate your eyes. I am lucky and my eyes automaticly focus far away as soon as i blink them so i just have to blink and i see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I love stereograms! This topic is ironic because just a couple weeks ago I remembered "magic eye" posters from about 15 years ago and found some on google. Then I downloaded some good ones as wallpaper and taught the twins how to see them. I find them a metaphor for life. We see our normal reality every day, but with just a change in perspective, we see something beautiful where once we saw chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 For some reason the second was one actually easier for me, dunno y. Plus this is kinda tough to do with contacts, after too long they dry up and I can't even see the design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
