As a not quite middle aged dude, I only just now figured out how to see magic eye stuff. I tried a couple times in elementary school but didn’t get it so I stopped. Had a few drinks earlier, stumbled on some magic eye pic that I could see clear as day and it blew my mind a little
My parents were of the opinion they were an elaborate hoax until they had me draw what I saw in one of them.
This was in a newspaper 30 or so years ago maybe. The image was accompanied by a depth-map image of what should be visible, but they covered that up. Then they asked if I’d looked at the newspaper before them because, even with my terrible art skills, it was clearly what was in the depth-map version.
I think they believed me in the end though.
thinking it’s a joke is REALLY funny to me
Yes. They require stereoscopic vision. When I was doing research on 3D displays about 10% of subjects had to be rejected because they were stereo blind. They had no idea they were that way.
One woman said that explains why she had the nickname clunk in high school. She had a habit of rearending cars.
Lmao clunk is brutal
Now that you’ve figured it out, behold: Stereograms!
The above satellite images from NASA allow you to SEE the topography in 3D.
This is a great random question. Me likey
Are those still being made? I haven’t seen one in ages. But yeah I could see em.
Holy shit! I don’t recall them being this impressive! This thing’s got over
halfa dozen levels of depth to it!The more I look at it and my eyes adjust, the more I realize now complex it is. The freakin trees have multiple layers of leaves! This is insane!
