Stereogram for the New Year

My method is to get right up to the screen, let your eyes blur and then hold that blurry vision and slowly pull back from the screen. Do NOT focus on the image.

If you focus on the image you will never see the 3D effect.

It may take several tries but this does work for most people.

Sorry Gary, tried your method still can't see it,just a blur. I think I am just too literal or something!

Took me years before I could view them but finally using the method described by Gary I eventually got there. The trick is to stay unfocused, it's so easy to think you're seeing something and refocus. Don't refocus, just keep slowly moving your head away from the image.

And as the stereo say's 'Peace' to you all.

Don't refocus, just keep slowly moving your head away from the image.

[Egg Bramhill]

No, no, no, Chris. You've got to move your head back but keep your eyes in their original position.

[Chris M]

You always give the best tutorials, Egg.

Tried Eggs approach no matter how hard I tried when I moved my head back my eyes came with it I just couldn't get the eyes to stay behind.

[Chris M]

I understood the instructions. I complied with the instructions. My eyes completely overrides the direct command of my brain and snaps the focus back on the picture.

Tried several times. Ended up trimming my finger nails as all I achieved was to notice the were getting long.

I'll try again tomorrow.

I can see the depth and detail of the shapes, (fantastic detail) but can't see text - what's it say?
