It’s over-rated. I can see it quite easily but after 10 seconds or so, I think I’m headed for a major migraine.

Your supposed to cross your eyes and you will see 3 images. what you need to do is stare at the middle image which really isn’t there … basically your left eye is looking at the right image and your right eye is looking at the left image. it does take time to learn this skill. (dont just stare at the image, it will never work. you must cross your eye. make sure your fully awake and give your eyes some rest :) enjoy!

Man, I learn something new everyday. Now I know why those stereoscopic images that ran in the local newspaper’s Sunday comics years ago always appeared indented to me and not to my family members that could get them.

Did any one of you check out the articles bs_angel linked to? The finger trick really helps you hone in on the crossed-eye method. I suppose years of making goofy faces with crossed eyes also helps, but YMMV.

BTW, the stereoscopic image is totally worth it.

Man, I can usually see these things really easily, but I can't seem to cross my eyes far enough to get most of them to mesh right. After cranking my screen resolution up another notch I was at least able to see all of the slideshow images to work, but when I try to watch any of the vids I can get them within millimeters of lining up, but I just can't get my eyes to cross that tiny bit more to make the images match up :(

bizarrely, I could get it to work which is fairly impressive considering I have never managed to see one of those dotty magic eyes pictures!!

And I’m pretty short sighted with a bit a astigmatism in one eye – don’t I sound like a catch :)

@ S – You’re not alone mate. I’ve been starring at it for the last 10min – full screen and not. And I still see two videos, one next to the other.

Angel, were you tipsy when you saw this?

Please…be honest, is there ANYONE other than me who can’t get this to work?? Seriously, I feel like I’m back in 3rd grade with all my friends laughing at me because I couldn’t find the lion in the ‘magic eye’ poster on the wall in my classroom :(

I can NEVER get these things to work – seriously…but it’s not like I have bad eyesight…20/20! *grumble, goes to look for 3D glasses*
