There are two ways to view a stereogram: Parallel and Cross Eyed.

Parallel viewing is when you look straight ahead (actually you focus through the image and behind it with your distance vision). When you look at a stereogram with Parallel vision the object will appear to come forward.

Cross-Eyed viewing is when you cross your eyes when you look at the image. When you look at a stereogram with your eyes crossed the object will appear to go backwards.

In each case you are not really focusing your eyes on the actual image. You are looking behind or through the image. Most people who cannot see the hidden image are focusing on the image itself.
