An exercise for the eyes.

Optimus Prime?

***Ace Mercury*** · 04-21-2011, 08:03 PM

Um, yes? No?

Narnia?

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-22-2011, 01:15 AM

Yes, I can. I just sort of mentally push back the pattern, & whatever stays up front is the intended image.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Jailbreaker · 04-22-2011, 07:20 AM

Well, I unfocused my eyes to see it, so I put "crossing."

I guess it takes a lot of experience to recognize a stereogram.

It especially helps when you spent your childhood collecting Magic Eye books.

Rainbow Dash · 04-24-2011, 10:25 PM

hooray i did it

now excuse me while my eyes pop out

Fairlight Excalibur · 04-26-2011, 02:58 AM

I recognized it as a stereogram right away... problem is, I have never been able to make any of these images come into focus.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 04-26-2011, 06:54 AM

Took me a few seconds... but, yes, I can!!

***Cosmonautical*** · 04-26-2011, 09:43 AM

I focused on it fine, but it was pretty difficult to read overall.

Spoiler Below

It just says "can you read this"

CuccoLady · 04-26-2011, 09:47 PM

I was able to focus on it no problem-- I spent my entire 3rd grade year looking at valentines with images of unicorns you had to focus your eyes like this to see.

The thing is, I KNOW I'm focusing on it correctly, and I can see where the letters are, but I can't for the life of me read what they say. So ditto AI. I had no problem focusing but after trying like ten times I still can't read the darn thing.

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-27-2011, 12:24 AM

Yeah, words are always a bit iffy in those things.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Kargath · 04-27-2011, 05:02 AM

I have the problem that the background comes forward and the object stays in place, making it too difficult to read.

**Cravdraa** · 04-28-2011, 06:35 AM

I have never been able to see these things.

Blake · 04-30-2011, 04:39 AM

What confuses me is its a pattern repeated about 4 times. I was looking at the pixels and noticed they're the same after about a quarter of the total image.

***Marilink*** · 04-30-2011, 12:46 PM

It's a mongoose with rabies fighting a bison with wings.
