Trick The Eye To See Three Dimensions

Learn trick your eyes into seeing a hidden 3-D image.


A "stereogram" is a two-dimensional image that tricks the eye to see something within the image that appears to be three-dimensional. This happens when the two eyes see something different--the visible image and the hidden image--and the two images converge into one to make the surface "pop up." Some people can spot the hidden image quickly and easily, while others have a hard time or cannot see it at all. There a few ways you can help yourself see the the three-dimensional image.


Instructions


1. Place the stereogram image on a table in front of you. Set two small, identical objects such as pennies, directly above the stereogram image about 2 inches apart.


2. Stare between the two dots as if you are trying to look off into the distance. Imagine something beyond the pennies until you "see" a third penny or dot between the pennies.


3. Concentrate on the visualization of the three pennies until you can see all three of them very clearly. Then look down at the stereogram image. You should be able to see the three-dimensional image within the two-dimensional image. If you don't see it the first time, keep trying to train your eyes to see the image.
