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.

no no no!! you should post more sound illusions like the barber shop!! please!! they’re wonderful!! :)
wow, thats the first time i’ve ever been able to do one of those! Thanks vurdlak! my favourite categories are sand sculptures and 3D chalk drawings! Keep up the good work!
I feel stupid but I fail to see this rose of which you speak. :( help!
I love all optical illusions but I really enjoy the ones where there are two images in one for example, the face in the tree branches. Thanks for asking.
Beautiful rose! i like the stereograms like this one. the chalk drawings and ones where the room walls are painted to lokk like certain things are kool too.
I like animations & stereograms
I agree with “Christopher.” Just cross your eyes and let the images come into alignment and presto… The image pops out at you! it’s like looking in 3D without the glasses. Coolness!
i loved these when i was lil…i would take home books full of these illusions from the library and look at them 24/7. i still love them now :)
Nice! Keep up the good work!
My favorites are body paint, billboards, and 3D chalk illusions.
wOW! This is cooler than taking drugs! :P
It’s a rose :)
Today it’s my birthday!!!!!!!!!
You’re supposed to put your nose right up against the center of the picture, and tehn slowly back up until you notice that it begins to look 3-D. In other words, it’s a hidden 3-D pic. I can always see depth, but I’m not too good at determining what the object is, but this time I saw that the hidden pic was the top view of a rose.
Cool !!! Look at that baby PANDA !!
i saw santa clause face…
I hate these. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I never see anything.
¡Cómo me encantan este tipo de ilusiones!
Hace años que no veía uno de este tipo.
Donde se pueden conseguir más de este tipo?
Where I can find more like these illusion? or how is called?
Looks like Can Can dancers to me–but what do I know? I wear bifocals.
This illusion works by fooling the brain’s depth perception. With nearly identical vertical patterns,(rows) placed side by side you can cross your eyes, creating 2 separate views (1 per eye), that spread apart horizontally. The more you cross the further apart. When the rows in the center of your overall view line up, the brain can perceive two different rows of the pattern as if they were the same row and lock in to the view. This cross-eyed perception should be completely in focus and make the picture and the 3D object within the picture seem much closer than it actually is. The same feeling as when you look at the tip of your nose. (your brain thinks your nose is pretty close) It is! Whatever 3D object appears at this point; does so, due to subtle differences drawn into the repeated vertical pattern. For me the bigger the picture the better it works.
I love these illusions.
