Your brain sees the image in 3-D because your brain thinks your eyes are looking at the same thing when they're actually looking at identical squiggles in slightly different places. To sum it up: your brain is constantly trying to make sense of the things you experience - so in this case it allows your brain to disregard the squiggley lines themselves and concentrate on the image behind them. Your brain solves discrepancies between what each eye sees by allowing for some points of the pattern to seem nearer to you than others are. Because the squiggles are identical your brain doesn't register that each eye is looking at a different one but instead perceives a non-existent (fake) depth to the picture. Seeing the Illusion When you force yourself to focus behind the image, you force your eyes to each look at different squiggles instead of the same one. Your brain then works out how far away the picture is from by comparing the different views from each eye. See more ideas about eye illusions, magic eyes, 3d stereograms. When your eyes focus normally, the line of vision from each eye meets in the same place on the page. Explore Genius Brain Teasers's board 'Stereograms', followed by 324 people on Pinterest. That's because your subconscious decodes differences in the repeating pattern of the fuzzy lines. However, if you view it stereoscopically (meaning your eyes focused behind the actual picture), a three-dimensional image forms. When you glance at a Magic Eye (or a stereogram, technically speaking) it looks like a fuzzy abstract picture. What's the deal? Magic Eye - Seeing the Surface Squiggles They're the ones that show you a 3-D picture when cross- your eyes, blur your while they look at them.

Normally you should see even 5 cm close.We've all seen those funny pictures at the mall or on the web - those ones that look like a cross between a bad 80s outfit and a fuzzy TV screen. All this goes for (stereo) hearing too! Just think how you do when trying to find out where a noise is coming from…Īnd crossing eyes again: it’s no more difficult than looking at your finger maybe 20 cm away. And they can move the head to look from different directions, and many animals do so aswell. One-eyed people of course learn to estimate distances by knowing a lot of facts about the size of different objects. It turns its eyes separately in any direction needed to check up the surroundings, and then focusing both eyes exactly on a certain object – the prey. Very useful when a “front-eyed” predator comes from the backside.Ī chameleon has both advantages. But they can see all around themselves, also much behind. Animals with one eye on each side of the head – rabbits, gazelles – have no real stereo sight, more like to monos. Also the both eyes must look in the same direction for the stereo effect – humans, cats, owls etc. Two eyes see they are on same distance and get a correct perception of their size difference. Or if the one eye sees a big person and a little one, it thinks the big is closer. Two eyes see that they stand in different places and that the guy in the far actually is taller. And this is important to estimate distances, regardless the size of objects.Įxample: One eye sees two people of same size, and thus thinks they stand on the same distance. They see more than a flat image from the front, they see a bit “round the corner”. But with a second eye placed a little bit away, the both eyes’ different viewpoints make it possible to get the depth too. One eye only sees two dimensions, height and width. It’s impossible to see in stereo with one eye! Stereo means space, 3 dimensions. P.S.: I apologize if my English is not very good.”Ī comment about one-eyed people and 3D seeing.

I am Mexican, and this stereogram is an image of the center and the cathedral of Puerto Vallarta, I hope you enjoy it. Maybe this illusion is not very amazing, I have seen many stereograms in this site, but this is special for me. I visit it every time I have a chance, but this is the first time I have submit an illusion. These are his words: “Hello! I Think your website is great. This should make us grateful for our health and good things in life we aren’t normally even aware of.Īntonio Solorio Cendejas sent in this stereogram recently. If the situation was true, this wouldn’t be so funny, but then again among these 14 million people that visited the site till now, surely some had to be disabled in this way. I felt sorry for the person, even though I got feeling the commentator’s intention was only to leave funny comment.
#Funny stereogram how to#
One person said that he/she only has one eye, and asked us how to view stereograms.

Sad but funny comment appeared in one of our Stereogram posts the other day that made me think.
