I wouldn't say "no" depth perception, but it gets pretty funky in twilight and evening. Ran a red light once that I thought was further away than it was. Optometrist says there's not a lot that can be done about that. |

Works for me. I don't really know what I do when looking at a magic eye. I could always seem them pretty much instantaneously. And I never used those dots they had to help. And yeah... that is kind of creepy.
Your artwork never ceases to amaze me. You get... two gold stars! And a spatula! |

Nah, I still can't do it, at least not well enough to see anything clearly. I never got a single one of those Magic Eye things to work either back a decade or more ago.
I can cross my eyes, I can focus on things, I can make one eye "cross" and the other stare ahead (this creeps the hell out of people, it's funny) and I can unfocus -- but I've never been good at focusing behind something. I can get a blur where the images cross into one.. singular... blur... it hurts my eyes like hell. |

Originally posted by Tatrion, not TartonAs with most autostereograms, this is drawn with focusing behind it in mind - crossing your eyes focuses in front of it. (It's also very difficult for me to do.) As a result, images drawn to be present in the foreground will be in the background instead, and vice versa. Thus, the nose will be slightly behind the eyes, which will be behind the mouth, behind the hair, behind the outline of the head. In other words, totally wrong. Don't look at it that way. Yeah, the eyes look creepy. This is because I draw eyes even worse than I draw everything else. Originally posted by JDavisAre you blind in one eye, or otherwise lacking in depth perception? 'cause yeah, they totally won't work if you are. If not, your eyes are out of shape and you need to exercise them. If you only look at things close to you (which is quite common in people who play a lot of videogames, read a lot of books, or just stay on the computor all the time) or far away from you, you won't be able to focus your eyes very well, and that could lead to nearsightedness/farsightedness. If you are already nearsighted or farsighted, that would also make autostereograms stupidly hard. |

Autostereograms never worked for me.
And they continue not to. |

I'm not sure if crossing your eyes in the proper method to get it to work, but it works.
All I have to say about that really. Aside from the creepy eyes. The creepy eyes. The creepy eyes. |

God, that's really REALLY bizarre. It works, but it kind of freaks me out. |

Yeah, I know. I never post my own art, since I'm extremely bad at drawing. And this is even worse, since I spent so little time on it (about 35 minutes). But... Eh. Some people I asked about it said it was good/cool, so...
... It's an autostereogram. That's fancy edumacated person speak for those ridiculous "magic eye" things that were a fad around ten years ago, where you focus on a point behind the image and the blur between two similar images causes the illusion of depth. Feel free to flame now. |
