Stereo Images

The instructions to make this work are to stare at the left image with your right eye and the right image with your left eye and, as a result, the images will appear to "drift" into a single 3D image. Personally I just sort of "will it" into correct focus. There are more images on the Source 1 page.

This is also applied to computer-generated data (see the Source 2 page for instructions on how to set these up). The Source 2 site has many suggestions for how to trick your eyes into seeing the images in 3D. Headaches are free of charge.



Have fun!

Gah! I seem to be incapable of crossing my eyes far enough to see any of the pictures wider than the two you posted.

Try printing them out on a colour printer. Paper should make the process easier AND prevent too much eyestrain from staring at an optically radiant surface.

Also bear in mind that some people simply cannot get their eyes to twist like that.
