OK..I made this...not great.... but still has a cool effect...

Remember those stereograms/magic eyes from the 90s?...well if you can make
you eyes go cross-eyed (focus infront of the object not behind it) then have
a go at this...

Go cross-eyed so that the two images merge as one (use Alyx to do
this)...you may have to sit a bit away from your monitor...

Oh...and it's powerpoint 97 format...sorry....

Yup, it works fine, if you can cross your eyes long enough for your brain to sort things out - but
OUCH! My eyes still feel funny, five minutes later... ;o)

Good effort though!

I've heard it suggested that it strengthens your eyes and can help solve
lazy eye problems.

I do it quite often, draw my own, it's a little hobby

Another way to do this if the 'cross-eyed' method doesnt work for you is
to look 'through' the picture focusing on a point the same distance
behind it as you are from it..... does that make sense?

I had an old program for making these too - I'll have to dig it out. So
old it's on a floppy

Yeah but I created the pictures for the cross-eyes method...if you did the
other method the pic would look wrong...You'd have to switch them over....

I did these a couple of yrs back with my digital cam....the subject matter
isn't that interesting but I just wanted to see if I could produce them
without having to use a tripod to keep my cam at the same height for the
pics to work....

Well at least you stick to your guns - as they say in those cowboy
films. On that subject I agree with my mate that it was a shame the
Indians never win in these films.

It's true what they say about history being written by the victor, if
you could call movies a form of documentation.

You're right - sorry. I wasn't even thinking about these type of pics
but stereograms (page full of meaningless patterns that form a picture

Lol...actually you are kinda correct...Stereograms do use the focus beyond
the picture method that you have mentioned (and that for me was the most
difficult thing to see....but now it is easy.....)....but they also tell you
that you can do them the cross-eyed way aswell (which is easier)...they just
don't tell you that the image will be the opposite (ie the background will
become the foreground and visa versa).....Actually if you think about making
a "mold" of the image (that u'd pour plaster of paris into to create the
real image) then this would be the "cross-eyes method....atleast in
stereogram terms (not the ones I posted)

But I decided to do it this way 'cause the cross-eyed way is easier (I find
it's impossible to do the normal "focus beyond" method for pictures that
have the subject matter this far apart....unless you sat about 5 meteres
away fromthe screen!)

You see it's verbal vulgarity like this which forces me to use harsh
words in order to placate or subdue some of the older and more unruly
members of this newsgroup.

Now eat your supper and go to bed young man, and no reading!
