Have you ever heard of stereoscopic 3D images? It’s the old school way of making flat photographs look like they’re not. I mean really old school. In stereoscopic photography, two similar photographs are taken from slightly different positions. kind of like how we have two eyeballs and they both see a similar, but slightly different image. This was nature’s way of getting around the whole 3D glasses thing that gives everyone a headache. It’s also why you’d have trouble figuring out how far away that next knuckle shot to the face was if the first one knocked one of your eyes out.
A stereoscopic image becomes 3D when you take both images and merge them by crossing your eyes. This page, which includes a bulleted list, is probably a better explanation on tricking your brain into making it work. Also, if you happened to lose an eye in a bar-fight, or a severe underestimation of a toddler’s dexterity with a fork, your out of luck.
Here are a few images I produced while staying at my Sister and Brother-in-Law’s farm in BF, Virginia.

Lol, that crap always ended up on the walls of doctor’s offices. Luckily, I’m pretty sure I belong to the 3% of people who could nail it in seconds every time. That’s a pretty awesome source of pride for a 10 year old.
no doubt! I liked the other site to with the instructions, but I can’t get the dots to float. I have always been resistant (unwillingly) to this kind of thing. Remember the 80s craze with the abstract pointillist pictures that if you looked at them right became 3D pictures of things?
Haha, you’re not the first person. That’s probably why history phased it out of regular use.
ok, giving myself a headache trying to go crosseyed looking at the farm pics : )
