- HarryBauzonia, on 10/12/2007, -11/+72Sweet. I didn't know those things could be animated.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53They can - there's a hack of quake II, with the entire thing as a random dot stereogram - it's pretty cool, if unplayable.
- pype, on 10/12/2007, -3/+50Hey! A Sailboat!
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48It's not a schooner, it's a sailboat!
- BlackSheepx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Heres a simpler game than quake II in stereogram format: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d3rebas/creative/martinsoft/spong/index.html (Pong)
Really interesting stuff. I never knew how to see it until a few years back, now it's just as simple as anything else. Practice looking at your finger then sort of "crossing" your vision so you see two of your fingers...thats what you want to do to be able to see the image. Make the images in the stereogram overlap. - tdogg241, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35A schooner is a sailboat, stupid.
- trooz1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Printing it sorta defeats the purpose of a moving picture!
- thehigherlife, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21i was going to give away the joke, but its funnier to see people say i don't think its a sailboat.
- turnTaker, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23No. That's a schooner.
- TheThirdWheel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19For anyone who doesn't get the joke:
http://schooner.ytmnd.com/ - Hypersapien, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Some more Magic Eye animations along with Magic Eye Tetris
http://www.lutanho.net/mageye/ - Jeebugorn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22i see nothing except moving colors
- jpetticrew, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Awesome, a sailboat!
- TheFoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16 @Ignignokt01 "It's not a schooner, it's a sailboat!" is a reference to Mallrats. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113749/quotes
- Jakelshark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14thats beautiful man...
Kevin Smith people...come on! - rodbibeau, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Does the sharkhave two dorsel fins and two sets of flippers? and wtf is swimming in front of it?
- dext3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12ugh, way to not get the Mallrats reference...
- thehigherlife, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10there is a link further down on the page to expand the image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Stereogram_Tut_Animated_Shark.gif

It is... The sail boat thing is a joke from mallrats. - TheJadedDog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Don't tell me you people don't know Mallrats.
- AnteChronos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9"cross your eyes slightly"
You actually want to do the opposite. You want to *relax* your eyes. Hold your hand in front of your face, between you and your monitor, and look at it. Now look at the monitor. *That's* what you want to do for a Magic Eye image. Look *behind* it, just like you looked behind your hand.
But you're correct in that you want the dark bands to overlap. Every Magic Eye image has some repeating pattern like that, which you'll need to make overlap to see the image. - samboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71994 called and wants their autostereogram back. :-)
These were very trendy around the same time Doom came out; back then, even magazine ads would have these autostereograms. They soon went out of style and it looks like a lot of diggers are too young to remember them. - haystacker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9ugh, my eyes are all blurry now and im only on my first beer.
- sHARD>>, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11You know, some people (like me) have bad depth perception and are almost completely unable to view these. Jesus, you people don't have to be such asses to him.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE SEEING THE ILLUSION:
http://www.keepmyfile.com/image/c31d6c823386
(photoshopped) - miwunderlich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Here is a higher quality version.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Stereogram_Tut_Animated_Shark.gif - aywwts4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Dont bother trying it on the small version, just go straight to the large one at the bottom.
- dignon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The bigger one is easier to see:

Its not a prank, whoever that idiot was that said it. If you're having problems seeing it, I always found it useful to look at something (like a wall) a few feet away, and then try to look at the stereogram without changing the focus of your eyes. You should then see something with some depth in the image (the top, left, right, and bottom-most of the image is usually the furthest away) with a little practice, you can start to make out the outline of the object and then it will usually "snap" into focus. - rodbibeau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5After I reloaded the page it was just a single shark. Good times.
- Icecream, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I have never been abil to see these, ever. Ive always wondered what they look like, i just can never do it.
- zatrix, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9http://www.clickandrelax.com/Priscilla/crossed.html (NSFW)
^ is way better! - Lososaurus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8You know what?! There is no Easter Bunny! Over there is just some guy in a suit!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6It took them 30 minutes and you still cant see it? took me 5 seconds to see the swimming shark, lol. It is pretty cool they can make it animated.
- McGrude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I can never see those things! What am I doing wrong?
- ericpp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You can use Tool's 10,000 days cd case to see this animation :)
- shoover, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7If you're seeing it properly it clearly is a shark, and there is nothing in front of it. Basically if the dark line is a marker, your left eye should focus on a dark line one to the left of the one your right eye is focusing on. If you're seeing multiple dorsal fins and a small body with a large body around it, it means your left eye is focused on on more than one marker to the left. The wider your eyes spread, the more dorsal fins you'll see. :)
- dhelmet78, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9A schooner IS a sailboat, stupidhead!
- Enigmaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You must feel really hip now, right?
- thehigherlife, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i still can't see it
- e___ric, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I am currently hungover ( yeah I know its Tuesday) and I looked at that for 2 seconds and I got sick.
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Half-saw it, although was never very good as these evil Magic Eye things *mutters*
Anyway, here's the cheating-way framitz mentioned :

(The layer blending mode makes it more obvious, but it's still visible if you just drop the opacity to 50%)
- Ben - deviant76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Took me more than a few seconds to see it. I started to feel like Mr. Pitt from that episode of Seinfeld with the Painting
- Jayeugene, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4http://milked.free.fr/crossmodels/index.html < Found a bunch more there!
- Guspaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wouldn't say that the SIRDS version of Quake 2 is unplayable. I managed to play through several levels of it. It's just difficult, since there's no texturing or shading. You're essentially relying entirely on the depth info for navigation. But if you can get into the groove, you can spot walls, enemies, obstacles, and navigate around (and shoot) them.
- TruthElixirX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I used to couldn't until one day I got my eyes crossed funny and it worked. I can do it on command now.
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Easiest way to see it if you have a laptop is to put the animation at the top of the screen, now hold your finger ~6 inches behing the screen and look at your finger over the top of the screen. You should see two of anything on the screen and they will get farther apart the farther back you move your finger. Now just slowly move your finger back and forth untill you see the image in 3D.
- eddorey2k3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Jesus that hurts my eyes.
- etx313, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I can see it. I find those things easier to see when your eyes are kinda tired.
- super_spyder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4WOW this is the first one if seen the right way, i always see them in reverse (things That pop out go in)
- hags2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Can you see the motion magic eye????"
No, and now I have a headache. -
