ok... for those who are having trouble i have found something that might help you out.

The StereoView section contains stereo pairs that can be seen in 3D with no special glasses. If you remember the Magic Eye books popular several years ago, you will use the same technique here. Basically, look at the pair of images above, then go into a daydream (i.e. quit thinking about the image), and let your eyes relax. The pair of images should drift apart and superimpose; so you'll see four balls, not two. Now pay attention to what is happening, and control your eyes so the pair of images becomes three images (you may have to 'push' your eyes a little more) and you only see three balls. When the center image is aligned, your brain will lock it into place, and you'll be able to focus on it alone. If you have difficulty in any of the other images here, find a prominent feature in the image, and concentrate on getting that to line up.

The Logical Approach to Seeing 3D Pictures

-- Understand Where to Aim Your Eyes

Please note that this page explains how to see 3D pictures without 3d glasses. This is called "free-viewing."[/i]There are three basic ways of looking at 3D pictures with both eyes...

Normally, if you look at or read something on the computer monitor, you aim your eyes directly at the surface of the monitor. You may already have mastered this technique (have you had a lot of practice?!). If you use normal regular ol' viewing to look at 3D images in our 3D Art Gallery, nothing will pop out. You won't see 3D!

With the parallel viewing method (a.k.a. the divergence or Magic Eye method), the lines of sight of your eyes move outward toward parallel and meet in the distance at a point well behind and beyond the image. That's why it's called parallel viewing. When you parallel-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing lens relax and lengthen.

Another method for 3D viewing is called cross-viewing or the cross-eyed method. You aim your eyes so that the lines of sight of your eyes cross in front of the image. When you cross-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing lens contract strongly and shorten.

MOSE.... How much? How many books, how old? Is it worth listing them in the market place?

Not really worth listing them in the marketplace, but these books were purchased around 1993 IIRC. Will have a look at them when I get home tonight and let you know how many I've got. Think I have 5 of them. 169144-ok.gif

Flippin eck...I've tried and tried these for years and even have some books somewhere all to no avail and have just seen the one posted by Fizzbit..Nice Rhinolike Dinosaur! 169144-ok.gif Pretty amazing, fantastic! Once locked in, you can't miss it!

ahaa... we have a breakthrough! jump.gif

Look behind it to see another one looking over the Triceratops (sp?)

If you're struggling to see them try and get you eyes to focus on an object behind the screen.

i.e. try and look thru the screen at something 6-12" behind. This will mean your eye balls aren't converging (i.e. going cross eyed) and this helps.

Alternatively cross your eyes. Then the left will see the right image and vice versa and it still works.

I think once you've done it once and know what sort of thing to look for it becomes a doddle.

I find that the only way I can do it is to go cross eyed. Once you kind of see that there is something there, you then try to focus on that (while still being cross eyed) and voila, it is as clear as day. Once you've done it the first time, it's easy thereafter (I wish pulling the opposite sex was like that!). HTH.
