The way to make them is to get a camera (or two) and shoot the same image from about 6 inches apart. It's really easy to do it at home, however you'd need to be reasonably accurate with vertical distance so a tripod and tray would be easier.

You can also do it with video quite easily. 2 identical cameras recording 6ish inches apart and then stick the end films next to each other (It's exactly what they do for 3D films at cinemas, except they stick the image on the same spot and use the glasses to blank one out each time.

I always find these really easy but then I can do all sorts of things with my eyes.

Now have sore eyes, and still can't see these images ever.
I can overlap them - just not even get close to focusing on anything :/

My housemates once convinced a drunk girl that whilst men see in 3D, women see in 3 '2D planes', which explains their inability to catch (or be good at anything ever).

She was drunk and that's the best they could convince her of?

Very interesting.

Youtube supports this, if the video has the right 3D tag, you can select "side by side" and view it just like the pictures here.

Yes

Jotun, I didn't realise Youtube supported it also! That is really incredible and strangely easier to keep the focus on.

I found out how to make them quite simply with photoshop. Get an image and duplicate it. Then crop them both to the same area that you want but have the left image more cropped to the right. Put side by side they then work quite well

Hasnt this been around for ages?

V4nger · 17 Nov 2010 at 12:08

Yeah for years and years even back to the early 20th century I think but I don't think many people know about it.

Welcome to 1993.

The horrifying thought being that some people on here probably hadn't even been born when the Magic Eye books were originally published.
