2 more weeks, and I’ll be back from my summer vacation! This means new illusion each day, again. I have over 500 unanswered emails containing optical illusions in my mailbox, and some of them are pretty awesome. I’m just asking for your patience again – and hope I’ll receive some ;) Today you get another interesting stereogram. I love posting those, since I never see their meaning, and look forward reading your comments explaining the illusion. I also have one short question for you people – which optical illusion category you prefer most? Is it “Spot the Object“, “Google Earth Illusions“, stereograms, scary illusions… or something else? You can see all of the categories in the sidebar, and please post your favorite one, so I can concentrate more on those kind of illusions.

It’s a rose :) I go up close to the screen and move back slowly to see them if that helps anyone!
i love magic eyes and i also love flowers so when i saw this one i felt like i was in heaven
I’ve been practicing and can do it with out without moving my head. These stereograms are really cool!
HOW THE HELL DO YOU SEE THESE ?!?
^ DON’T cross eyes! Crossing eyes is suitable for stereo vision pics, not for stereograms. Here you have to do the opposite, focusing something behind the monitor. Of course you can’t do that easily so you must imagine you are doing so. It helps if you listen people talking at radio or television while doing that. And wait, and wait… Your brain will do the rest. It results better if the distance from your eyes to the picture is about 2x it’s diagonal. And you cannot have severe eye problems, of course.
I love these. Had eye problems when i was a kid, double vision (corrected). Never had a problem seeing them so I figure that’s what you have to train your eyes to do… see double
for those who are confused: you have to cross your eyes. exercise by holding your finger up and looking at it. then look at something behind it (like a wall). without shifting the focus of your vision, notice you see two fingers instead of 1. this is what you have to do. cross your eyes like you’re looking behind the screen and the image will be 3d. hope this helps.
I dont understand these type of illusions -.-
Here is the thing with stereograms; if you cress your eyes, the image will be inverted, for example, for this one, the rose will sink back into the screen and the points that are further away from the screen will appear closer and the parts that are closer to you will appear most “sunk back”
Wow this is the first stereogram I got to see and figure out what it was. and now that i’ve seen it I wanna say 3D movies are lame now that i can do this without glasses…. dont ask i’m just happy i saw it.lol
