Do you see a young or old woman?

It took me a while to see the young lady.

That picture makes me want to kiss her neck!

Obviously a young 18 year old virgin girl ...

Now, she is 97 years old, has got 3 children, 5 grand children and 7 grand-grand children....

Both, young first. I'd be curious to do a correlation between this and the ability to see the big picture (old) vs focused on details (young).

And not to biased the results I'd ask "what do you see?" Without suggesting there is two images. Because if you do, it is clear that we will put extra attention to see both. (I did... Saw the young, then asked my self now where is the old? - Ah ok...)

According to my "assumption" you'd be a big picture guy.
And I'd be more in the details.

Cool thread

Few years back, there was those stereoscopic posters. After staring at them for a while you either ended up by puking or see a 3D picture.

I'll try to find a couples of decent ones for PC viewing.

Post by: BucklingSpring on Tue, 05 April 2011, 08:21:43

Maybe stereoscopic was not the right term. Because all the ones I found were 2 images side by side. What I have in mind is a single image revealing a 3D picture hidden in them.

EDIT: found the proper terminology - Hidden Stereograms aka magic eye 3d

This one is easy to spot... What do you see?

It means you didn't stare at it long enough. There is a single solid subject in the middle.

HINT - Try to blur your vision (make it out of focus)

I also find it easier if I slowly move my head left and right couple of inches at a 1hz frequency.

The picture is composed of two overlapping images. The idea is to desynch each of your eyes and assign one image to one and the other image to the other. When you succeed... Wham! You see 3D. The brain of ours is an amazing piece of processing power.

For my life I cannot understand why they don't do those stereograms inverted. It's like a million times easier to cross eyes than parallelizise them =P

Yeah, I'm sceptical as well.
However Steve Pavlina promotes it (http://www.stevepavlina.com/photoreading/), and he is a definitely a good guy.

I always see those stereograms as objects that are carved out of the surface, like it's a mold used with plaster or something like that.  Most people I talk to say they see the object coming out of the surface, like the plaster object that came out of the mold.

I'm not sure if that means I'm a psychopath or what...

Technically they are both the same. So you are as right as the others.

I don't think this is a half empty (pessimistic) or half full (optimistic) conclusion.

That means you are crossing your eyes instead of "looking behind" the surface as you are supposed to.

My eyesight must be getting really bad, I used to get these easily when I was a kid, but this one took ages. Is it more difficult to get them on an LCD screen? iirc printed ones behind glass are easier to see because you can focus on a reflection.

I half expected that after all the effort it would just be something stupid like a cock & balls, or say "you're a twat" in bold letters, but it's good :smile:
