These stereograms never work for me..

That's a nice link!

I've always been interested in optical illusions and stereoscopics, although I find viewing stereograms (and 'freeviewing' stereo images) on a computer screen almost impossible.

I've tried both CRT (not pleasant) and LCD monitors but no luck. Do you have any tips for this?

After looking at all of the gallerys(most are the same thing just small variations(sp?) like different shapes)

but IMO the coolest one Ive seen(you may have seen it before)
is this one

I think the sterograms has to do with how well you can just relax your eyes. Once I figured out how to do it, I can look at any of them and instantly see the pictures.

I can see a stereogram if I can see a reflection in it. My dad had one in a frame and had a piece of glass over it to cover it. If you look at the reflection you're allowing your eyes to relax and keep your focus distant. It all becomes clear

I'm about like you surreal, It took a few seconds for the first one....then the rest came almost instantly...

Except for
This one...

Too small and too many distrations...


I didnt even see that one CW....nice one..

Did you figure it out? There are 4 not 3 In addition to being 3D.


heehee maybe we can start a club? Freak Eyes!

[alligator_al]

Woohoo! I can see them now
The one of dolphins was the first to 'go' -- after that they were all pretty easy. Thanks for the advice surreal/vass!

(that last one you linked to Cruez was really strange: all I got was a row of shiny balls floating in 3d boxes... is that what it's meant to be??)

I have several books of stereograms, took me a while to get the hang of them, but now most come easily.
