My time has come!
The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)
This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.
Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:
Wheeler Ridge, California
Mount Saint Helens
Salt Lake Valley, Utah
Wellington, New Zealand
I don't think the locations are all correct.
1st: Honolulu, Hawaii
2nd: Lake Palanskoye, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russian Federation
3rd: Wheeler Ridge, California
4th: Mount St. Helens, Washington State
5th: Mount Meru, Tanzania
6th: Salt Lake City, Utah
7th: Meseta de Somuncura, Patagonia, Argentina
8th: Wellington, New Zealand
I have never ever in my life managed to make these work, I have no idea what's wrong with my eyes
you and me both. i can make the third dot appear, but the second i look away from it the effect is gone. and now my eyes hurt!
Oh, also, I really miss the old JMOL molecular models that you could view in cross- or wall-eyed stereo. Anyone know what software is required to make those?
TIL I am a walleyed viewer
These are easier for me than normal Magic Eye pictures, because I can just use the "floating hotdog"* method of putting it right up to my face, letting my eyes get used to being focused there and then slowly moving away from it until it pops out of the page/screen.
*(to do the "floating hotdog" trick, put your index fingers end to end then put them right up in your eye line. Now slightly move your fingers apart until the floating hotdog appears)
Dude, these are dope! Thank you!
Wow! Super depth!
Well, its the first time that i manage to see one of these magic eye images.... but I need to ask. Most of this seem to be inverted (i see mountains as sinks, lakes and rivers are higher than peaks). Is this intended? I'm interpretint it wrong?
These ones require crossing your eyes, whereas the other type you relax them (like looking further away).
I find the other type way easier and struggle with cross eye ones. For these images you could swap the left and right portions to get it working the other way.
Actually, I made a version for wall-eyed viewing in one of the other top-level comments.
This is a great way to teach people how to do the Magic Eye puzzles. It's the same method but was notably easier to do this than a Magic Eye.
I’m cross eyed. Can’t get a third dot. Boooooooo
Did you try the wall-eyed versions below? Those should be smaller on a mobile screen, and many people (myself included) find wall-eyed versions easier.
I usually can do stereograms pretty well but for some reason I had to tilt my phone about 10° counter-clockwise for the stereo images to align to get the 3D effect.
Ha, there is NO depth to this kind of thing it is just an illusion, don't be fooled about what these tricky scientists say.
