How to View Stereograms 

 

Method 1:

 

 

1. Pick a spot on the picture (the middle seems to work best) and just stare at it.

2. Allow your eyes to relax, don't just stare AT the image, try to stare THROUGH it. You'll notice your eyes will go slightly out of focus. This is normal.      

3. Keep staring, don't give up, once you begin to see the first image, it gets much easier.

 

Method 2:

 

1.      Using a desk lamp besides your computer, or any light source, orient it so you see your own refection on the screen.  Focus your eyes on the reflection and concentrate on a particular point.  After awhile, the image should pop right up!  This method allows you to focus through the screen.  More specifically, this method makes you focus at the far plane of the object, as done by design in implementing the code!  (look at the implementation of our code to find out!).

 

****Method 2 works best for people having difficulty viewing the stereograms.  We know because we never were able to view them before!!!****

 

The above two methods require much practice and patience.  It might take you several times before you are able to see it.  So don’t give up!
