Since we're doing magic eyes now...
My time has come!
The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)
This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.
Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:
Wheeler Ridge, California
Mount Saint Helens
Salt Lake Valley, Utah
Wellington, New Zealand
I miss r/crossview and the short love r/crossviewnsfw. Damn greed ruining everything good in the world.
In feudal Japon, 19th century, a photographer made a lot of photos from the people in 3D to use in a viewer, hand colored.

How to make people on the internet staring at their phones like this:
Worked well for me. Cool stuff!
Really can’t seem to understand how this works.
Never did any “magic eyes” or whatever books as a kid, so maybe I just don’t have any practice in this, but whether I try to cross my eyes focusing beyond the screen, or “above” the screen, I can’t get the resulting middle image to look like anything other than a blur.
Perhaps my eyes are somehow odd on the other hand. I don’t need glasses though, so I’m a bit skeptical that’s it.
I tried all the guides I found in this thread, including the floating hot dogs, attempting varying distances both with the screen and the finger, then trying the wall-eyed variants too for all of them, none of them work for me.
So odd. It seems it should work. No idea what I am doing wrong here.
Or is this the joke? To get people to squint for minutes on end on their screen?
These are all backwards. The eyes are reversed so everything that's supposed to be a hole looks like a bump and vice-versa.
EDIT : TIL about cross v wall eyed. I dont understand why they would do it this way though ? The image is much less stable, and moving it at all completely breaks the effect. Wall-eyed really allows you to move and observe details without breaking.
It’s not very active, but still has good content.
I love these so much thanks! On YouTube there's also a ton in video format, like this one by Brian May.
The destruction of the coastline in Honolulu is so sad to see :(
Isn't magic eye something different? I thout it was !autostereograms@lemmy.world instead of cross view images.
Cool effect. For me, it only works on a screen where the white dots are roughly the distance of my eyes. So not on a phone.
I don't think the locations are all correct.
1st: Honolulu, Hawaii
2nd: Lake Palanskoye, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russian Federation
3rd: Wheeler Ridge, California
4th: Mount St. Helens, Washington State
5th: Mount Meru, Tanzania
6th: Salt Lake City, Utah
7th: Meseta de Somuncura, Patagonia, Argentina
8th: Wellington, New Zealand
TIL I am a walleyed viewer
Awesome! I cross-posted this to !crossview@lemmy.world :)
Oh, also, I really miss the old JMOL molecular models that you could view in cross- or wall-eyed stereo. Anyone know what software is required to make those?
Ha, there is NO depth to this kind of thing it is just an illusion, don't be fooled about what these tricky scientists say.
I've seen simlar things before, and the effect is cool, but these images don't really seem like the best demonstration of the effect. You really want something with large variation in depth. These top-down landscape shots have quite subtle changes in relative depth. I can kinda see the effect but it's quite subtle, especially when it's so out of focus.
edit: better examples from a quick search:

Now my eyes are aching so I'm gonna stop. They're also called "stereo pair images" if you want to look up more. If you're having trouble getting the images to overlay over each other, make the image physically smaller on your screen (e.g. by zooming out of the webpage).
