Remember these appearing mid 90s?

Did you ever get it to work?

Did you stand there in the shop looking like a dork for 10 minutes and still didn't get it to work?

Don't know what I'm on about.... see this and click on the red links

Their correct name is Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.

Instead of 'relaxing your eyes' try staring at them and crossing and uncrossing your eyes. This will invert the 3D effect so dents become protrusions, but you will get the idea.

Oh I got it to work. They were brilliant! They used to appear in the Daily Mails mags inside and they were so good! :D

NO THEY DONT work ill tell you my eyes have gone so funny after trying for ages. i just dont think they work on computers cos of the glare on them and you can just see the separate pixel things when you look close.

I *loved* Magic Eye stuff.

I just sold a Magic Eye book on ebay and I really regret it - I wish I'd kept it!!

Was surprised to find out I could still do them. :)

Remove your nose from the computer screen and step back a little. :lol:

I'm on a laptop and my screen isn't as sharp as yours and its working for me.
