Can YOU SEE this???

Post Reply New Topic

I can see the magic eye effect instantly, but I usually have no idea what the object is. I don't know the first one, but the second one is a picture of a ringed planet. It can actually become kind of hard to stop seeing the effect, so much so that if I focus my eyes on something else and then look at the image again, my eyes automatically re-focus to show the hidden image.

Wow, the animated ones pop out instantly. For some reasone the motion makes it easier to see. Maybe its because you can't focus on the pattern as much (since its constantly moving). Focusing too much on the pattern distracts the eyes from seeing the 3D image.

No I can't I thought it was the other way round NT's see these better cos we have eye convergence problems.

usually im very good at these but i dont see how you get a potted plant in the first one, and the second one to me looks like the word 2000 in black letters like a watermark or something

I don't think these things work. I think it's a giant conspiracy just to make me feel stupid :-P

I saw the planet. Although at first... I saw a series of numbers...

Couldn't' see the first one at all. I saw... a square.

I have astygmatisms, 20/40 in one eye and 20/80 in the other... even with corrective lenses, depth perception is problematic.

hmmm, i could never really do these, my eyes cross to start out with (as they are supposed to) but uncross when they are not supposed to, i think cause i think about thr fact my eyes are crossed and uncross them pre maturly.

I got 'em both! Took me a while though.

ive never been able to see them to save my life... and trust me, i can relax my eyes

i search huge water columns for lil plankton fritters all the time and have to do similar exercises to catch their lil tail (well, notochord) wiggling in the water... cause they're a couple mm's long

but i have never seen a single magic eye.

i do have a rather bad stigmatism... ive blamed it on that

what i do is cross my eyes really hard so the picture becomes replicated in each ey, then uncross them so they come together. i find it had to see what the image is but i deffinatly get the 3d effect without fail

steff x

same here.
+ i'm astigmatic -_-
i can't even see the moving ones. and i have more problem with focusing eyes than loosing focus...

well on the second one i see 5 changing numbers, and a braid or spiral under them. but it's not saturn for sure :|

Couldn't see anything it looked like wrapping paper.

I've NEVER been able to see these magic eye things,even when people kindly
give advice on how best to see them . I'll keep trying as I don't like to give up.
Funny thing is I like optical illusions,especially those of M.C. Escher .

"To find the hidden image you must focus you eyes through the screen. Pretend that you are looking through the monitor to the distant background. This causes you to switch from “near point” to “far point” vision and will allow the hidden image to come into view.

Put your face close to the screen. Pretend to look through
the monitor.
Now, very slowly move back from the screen and as you do so
the image will come into view.
This may take several attempts.
Please be patient, and you will be rewarded with the hidden
image."

Does anyone else see two fish the first time they do this, and a shark the next time?

I can only see them indented, the opposite of what I'm suppose to see. There is a big flat thing around the depth part. The second one looks like a ringed planet, but the first is too big for me to look at.

I have to take off my glasses to see them at all, as well.

Btw, I hear that autism researchers have found that autistic people are generally less easily fooled by optical illusions than NTs are. I don't know how this relates to Magic Eye pictures or how you would classify a magic eye picture though.

Anyway, the findings on autistic people and optical illusions make a lot of sense to me - in terms of NTs receiving sensory input, making sense of it and processing a response, as opposed to autistic people receiving sensory input and seeing it as it is, whether it makes sense or not. The forest and the trees and all that.

Anyway, I can usually see Magic Eye pictures eventually.
