3D Photography Optical Illusions
January 31, 2007 by Vurdlak
Harvey Layton took these 3D photos around his house. One way to view them properly, is to cross your eyes until the 3rd picture appears, then try and concentrate on this third image, and in the same time trying sharpening it. I had best results when trying to concentrate on the fix imaginary spot few inches behind my laptop. If you manage to do it, be sure to share your tactics. I never had much succes in viewing 3D photographs and stereograms. Still, magnificent work Harvey! Thnks... For more of these you should see Tube Of Illusions and Chair Stereogram. Little different, but still cool are these 3D animations: Stereo Dino and 3D Fireplace.

Cool, but the images go back into the picture, and I think they're supposed to pop out.
wow!!!
thats so awesome!!!
These are cross-eyed stereo pairs, not parallel-view.
this is really cool!!
stare really hard inbeteween the pics
it works better
If the images appear to go back into the picture, rather than pop out, it is probably because you are using the cross-eyed method of viewing them. When you go cross-eyed, the left eye is looking at the right image, and the right eye is looking at the left image.
If instead, you focus on a point in the distance, your eyes move in the opposite directions so that the left eye sees the left image, and the right eye sees the right image.
Another way of viewing the images, which may be easier for people who have difficulty focusing on a different point to the object they are looking at, is to flip one of the images vertically, then place a mirror between them, so that it reflects the flipped image. Now, if you bring your nose to the edge of the mirror, one eye sees the normal image, and the other eye sees the reflection of the flipped image. Because both the reflected image, and the original appear to be in the same place, you don't have to try do any tricks with focusing your eyes. I hope that made sense, it's a bit difficult to describe without diagrams, but does work really well.
wow how to make those kind of pictures yourself? it looks AWESOME
Although I've never made them myself, I think they're done by taking one photo, then moving the camera about 5cm to the side (the distance between the centres of your eyes), then taking another.
cool
I almost crossed my eyes for too long, ow, it's hard too see right now. But my sight shall return.. The first one didn't really have anything. normally, there's a secret message. Well, that's what i learned from all those days.
I don't understand what to do. I crossed my eyes but nothing happened.
Neat. I have a book of these only it's bugs, and it comes with magnifying-lens shaped goggles so you don't have to cross your eyes. It's really awesome.
Wow, this is awesome! The Nature Stereograms are easier to view them, though. For some reason it is harder to view these, as they go back into the picture, especially the last one. But once I finally got it, they looked amazing! :D
