I was foolishly trying to see if I could recreate the Escher-esque triangle optical illusion as a stereogram. Of course this was a futile exercise since the illusion is really a 2D image and is impossible to create as a 3D object.
But in the process I came up with the attached stereogram which has some elements of an optical illusion.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this.
Extremely cool! Another excellent creation, Gary!
Amazing stereogram Gary.
The triangle pops out instantly, but when looking for details the illusion jumps into view and my mind says that is impossible. ;))
A real mind twister. :D
Great but mind bending image Gary.:eek:
Thanks for sharing,
Peter
That produced a real interesting effect, Gary.
Excellent Gary. Works better than anything else I've ever seen.
Here's the depth image. It is a blend of two shapes. Basically the result was a happy accident.

You just couldn't resist, could you? :-O
that sort of twisting of perspective by perception in the real world is well known Steve - stage illusionists use it for a start
but as its not a solid unbroken object, Gary is right IMO - oh and a master of stereograms - nice one Gary :-bd
Oh really? Gee thanks for the heads up :D:p
Back on topic, I couldn't get this one because I can only see cross-eyed wise :(
I think the stereogram is great! I agree with handrawn that because it's not a solid unbroken object that it doesn't count. But it was a great illusion!
Illusion is the whole point. I think Escher understood this and I'm pretty well convinced by now that so does Gary. :D
I started being able to see stereograms without going cross eyed because of a reflection on my screen. Try to postion your screen if possible so that there is a reflection perhaps from a nearby window. Then try to focus on the reflection while also looking at the stereogram. Once you have been able to see them once or twice it will become easier to see them.
I have non-reflective (by choice) S-IPS panels.
I'm happy to at least see the cross-eye way, else I'd be missing out on Gary's fine efforts - he's quite good at it :)
Here's a cross eyed version so Steve L can see it too. (:|
:nerd::thanks
You continue to impress me Gary. That is one nice looking 'mistake'.
I can see both versions. However in the first one the triangle seems kind of inverted and in the second one the triangle seems to be a background object viewed through a hole in the foreground. I guess this makes me weird.
Yes jimi, because I can only see them exactly opposite as you see them. ;)
I can see the cross eyed one right and the straight one as a hole.
I actually like the depth of the hole more then the triangle. It has far more depth. So in that way I am weird ;)
And thanx gary for posting the crosseyed one too.
I am so glad I can finally see those blasted things.
