I constantly receive requests for more stereograms, either though my mailbox, or inside the comments section. My problem with seeing the hidden image they contain is probably the reason I posted only so few of them. Magic Eyes, or how some like to call them “stereograms” are pictures you have to concentrate at, and suddenly the hidden meaning pops out at you. With the later mentioned, sometimes there is no hidden meaning, just the option to see the 2D image in 3D. Probably later versions aren’t stereograms at all, instead they should be refereed as stereo images. I’m the guilty one for posting them all inside the same category. If I understand your help correctly, you have to try and focus on the illusionary dot few inches behind your monitor, which I never manged. If you see this example, along with its solution, this is how the result should look like (apparently). Now let’s solve these three without me! If you want to see more of these, use the search in the sidebar, and enter stereograms or something. You can find more inside the appropriate category. Btw, the M&M Man is courtesy of Gary W.

i dont undrestand these
Well i think i got these figured out .. i hope am right .. please let me know ..
1st one = a big smiley faced guy with a happy face waving his hands
2nd one = this one had a 3d image effect as if the bottles were placed alternalely infront and back
3rd one = this had a mermaid in it ..
letters kinda appear when im staring at it
the first one is when you scroll it down the middle stay put while the 2nd one is the 3rd bottle (from left to right) its bottle cap is wrong idont know about the last one
The best way to see a stereogram image is to place a print of one behind a sheet of glass – a viewing cabinet glass door, or between the panes of patio doors-. The next thing to do is to place yourself about four feet away then stare through the stereogram at your own reflection. It can take up to half a minute to get a result.
the 2nd one is beer bottles that form Champaign glasses, look at the gaps in between
I’ve always been able to see these (using the cross-eyed technique) but I see them in REVERSE. Instead of images popping out of the picture – like a statue – they drop in so it’s like looking at a jello mold before pouring in the jello. It’s trippy – I can see the image is built in layers – but it’s disappointing too. I wish I could see them pop out.
Crossing your eyes won’t get the “pop out” effect. They will recess instead. Relaxing your eyes is the opposite of crossing your eyes (each eye move in the opposite direction that if you were to cross them) will make the image pop out. I did both of these.
i can only see the stella artois one :(
The technique I use to see these is to let my eyes relax (unfocus) and blink rapidly. Blinking breaks up my focus even more so it is easier for my eyes to look ‘past the image.’ The edge of the image will start to become visible, and by concentrating on that, I can bring the whole thing into view.
I like stereograms a lot. My method? First I cross my eyes a little bit. Then I focus (trying to get the image sharper) through that blurryness. Then it suddenly becomes so focused that it is amazing. I can almost go as close to the picture that my nose touches the screen and still see the 3D image.

“i know a easy way!
just take the tip of yout nose in the middle of the monitor then move slowly back WHITOUT MOVING YOUR EYES then u see it!”
Thank you so much! Now I can see a picture in less than 5 seconds, before I used 5 minutes sometimes! And I have done this a lot!
Stereograms are usually reinterpretation of picture, seeing behind the picture for possible solution.
Picture 1 – It is like a people interconnected.
Picture 2 – It is a like boss who are standing in a stage.
Picture 3- It is a multitude of people who are trying to run in a marathon race.
In picture 1 I see 1000′s of m&m’s!!
WHERE IS THIS 1 BIG M&M FUCKER?
Picture 2 = 6 bottles
Getting already drunk when seeing them!
Picture 3 = a mass of bubbles
THERE IS NO SUCH OF HIDDEN PICTURE
STARED OVER MINUTES TO THIS!
WHAT IS THE USE OF WATCHING THIS??
IS IT REALLY AN ILLUSION??
HELP!! STEFANIE
are you all stupid? lol ok
1)all of the grenn M&M’s have a “g” on them instead of a “m”.
2)look in the last stella artois bottle there is a little white stick person on the”o” in artois,also there is no pictures of vines on the label.
3)look in the back!!!!! it looks like ghostly faces.
You dummy!!! It’s just a matter of crossing your vision to see them in 3d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s not that complicated!!!!!
Are you stupid? Haha, the first one isn’t m&m’s, they’re just random ball shaped thingy’s with letters on them. I saw a g, and shit like that. What you have to do is, either put yur face right at the screen so you go crossed eyes, then slowly move back, and the hidden image will be popping out, and if you sorta cross your eyes, and slowly, very slowly uncross them, the image will go in. That’s how I do the magic eye thingy. I got it outa a book XD. You, my friend, got those theories because you were trying too hard. you didn’t even read the top nota at all, did you?
That was super cool, I saw all 3 illusions, my boyfriend didn’t see any of them, but he did point out that some of the m&m’s have g’s on them instead of m’s, which I thought was interesting lol, and now I see someone else already said that lol
man, I just tell myself “SEE IT!” and I do =)
It’s not about relaxing and sitting in place, it’s about focusing your eyes for a different distance than the stereogram. Whereas crossing your eyes focuses them closer, do the opposite. Yes, it is a relaxation technique, but so many people forget to let their eyes focus farther away that they keep them focussed on the image itself, which will never work.
i go a little bit crosseyed and then refocus and then i can see them. i can even blink and still have focus
Wow, now I can see cross my eyes …
1. An M&M guy with some purple
2. another stellar which looks like the middle
3. A mermaid (love it)
Yay! Seen all three of ‘em. :)
to see the pics go right up to the screen and kind of do cross eyes (sometimes not required) then slowly move backwards.:) (this should help alot)
I don’t know how but these are so easy to me. I never have to try. I actually thought I may have difficulty through the pc screen.
wow, loved all three. The beer bottles not only appear 3-d but if you count them before and after you get an extra bottle of stella when in 3-d. I wish I could do that with any six pack..lol
I also see them going inward. I wish I could see them popping out :(
I never see anything in stereograms :/
That was cool I saw 8 bottles of bear in the 3D mode as apposed to 6 bottles in the regular view. Sadly though I keep getting a inside/out view of the other two. The mermaid I can hardly see because she is popped inward instead of being popped outward like it’s suppose to be and the same thing with the M&M’s guy.
no it is sopose to pop inward. i havent seen one that pops out ward yet. and iv seen over 100.
dunno what’s wrong with you guys. these stereograms are popped out, not in.. and every stereogram ive seen in my life are all popped out in nice 3d detail.
btw, love the smarties one.. very 3d.. even the small ones at the top of tht image.. very nice :)
haha beat me i can see both ways!
I saw 7 bottles of beer, the Happy Face and the Mermaid. This is cool.
i really wish to see this, but i see nothing.
HELP ANYONE :(
I used this video to help me go cross-eyed. http://youtu.be/zBa-bCxsZDk
all you do then is go cross-eyed at the stereogram and squint a little if you need to. It works for me almost all the time when I do it that way.
Good luck!!
i’ve never done these b4 i must have lucked out cuz i saw them all right away. i leaned forward about 12″ from the computer slightly crossed my eyes and squinted. presto there they were. try it, it might work for you…..
Great! instead of saying waht u see y not explain HOW!
top one is a M&M comercial character, the middle the bottles apear 3d and the third is a mermaid
Just blur ur vision and keep that way for some time and u will sort of see that its 3D and see the image. Be very patient because it takes a long time(at least for me).
You have to let your eyes unfocus…
one trick is to put your face really close to the monitor, unfocus your eyes, then slowly move away.
i have no idea what these illusions are…
Hidden figures shows up on a 3d effect when you blur the image by focusing a point behind the monitor. Take a while for the first time but once you get there you’ll have no doubt.
WHOA. On the first one i blurred my vision and i saw concave and convex shapes, but then i had trouble coming out of my little daze. scarrry stuff. scary- but cool :)
@moock…actually, if it goes in, you are doing it wrong. You’re focusing closer in. Try looking at something far away, and without changing your focus, slowly bringing it up in front of your eyes.
Really grt, i like 3 D sterograms,
I could see 7 bottles, felt like drinking them all.
Even mermaid could be seen
M&M man is so cool! I love sterograms so much I have bought books of them. Easiest way to see them is bring your eyes very close to the screen and ever so slowly keep backing up unfocusing your eyes. Don’t TRY to focus. Let your eyes get lazy anad back up…..by about 8 inches or less back POP!
The 3rd one is really cool! I can see it pop outward by letting my eyes relax or pop inward by looking at it cross-eyed.
why do some of the M&Ms have the letter g instead of m?
well as to what i see
1st photo – is a standing smiley M&M character with hands waving upward
2nd photo – no idea
3rd photo – is a mermaid..
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!! I seen all three at the same time. I stayed awhile. It was great!!
Wow!! I’ve always had to cross my eyes and see the inverted images, which makes for a hard time figuring out what some of the pictures “are”. This is the first time I’ve been able to see the images properly.
you look with your eyes crossed and then it pops into view then youfacaus into the depths of the 3d image. Its like your in the same place but now your somewhere else too at the same time.
My tip on viewing these is to save the pic and open it with a picture viewer, I use irfanview. Make it fullscreen. You can zoom in and out to hit the sweet spot and its got a black backround so as not to distract the eye. A bright backround seems to make it more diffucult. There are a few more tips but I dont want to sound like mr. know it all. Good luck
Most of you are overthinking it, the first is a big m&m, the second one is just that the bottles “pop out”/ become 3D, and the third is a mermaid. There are no other tricks to it. And ghjkil;, there are also purple “m&m’s” with “g’s” on them.
