Magic Eye 3D Picture



Try to find out the inner 3D image by yourself. If you failed, no worry... try again, it may
take some time to see the 3D image.

3D stereogram - test 1

3D stereogram - test 1 by Kim Dench.
I thought it was time to try something new. Second Life is a 3D world, so isn't it time we let that show in our pictures?

Here is the first test shot I took in my studio of myself in glorious 3D. It works quite well, I think, so I will be experimenting a lot more with this.


Instructions for Crosseye Stereograms:

1) Sit about half a meter (half a yard) from the screen.

2) Go crosseyed, so you see four images, instead of two.

3) Adust the degree of crosseyedness until the two middle images (the left of the right pair and the right of the left pair) merge, so that you see only three images.

4) Hold that position and try to get them into focus. When you succeed you suddenly have a clear 3D image.

5) If your eyes get tired, take a break.

It is difficult to do this the first time, but once you have succeeded it gets a lot easier from then on.

My second test with a 3D stereogram.

Notice how the eyes moved sligtly between the shots, and so they appear to sink into the picture a bit.

3D stereogram - test 3

The third test with 3D stereograms - first test out of the studio. For location, I picked the wonderful Edo Japan region, for the beautiful builds and the cool walk way givning the depth effect.

The cool thing about these images is that they look even *more* real than what we usually see in SL. Sure, we get some feeling for the 3D environment as we move around, but we actually only see a 2D image. With images like these, we actually get to see SL in 3D for real.

The Stereogram Game


What is an autostereogram? An autostereogram is a single-image stereogram (SIS), designed to trick the human brain into perceiving a three-dimensional (3D) scene in a two-dimensional image. In order to perceive 3D shapes in these autostereograms, the brain must overcome the normally automatic coordination between focusing and convergence. You have to focus on the picture...People who haven't done this before, have patience! Example: Do you see the shark? I'll post a stereogram, tell me what you see... I'll tell you if you're right or wrong. Good luck people! Number one: © N.E. Thing Enterprises
