My time has come!
The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)
This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.
Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:
Wheeler Ridge, California
Mount Saint Helens
Salt Lake Valley, Utah
Wellington, New Zealand
Since some people are apparently rather salty about these being cross-eyed, despite the fact that that’s just how NASA made them, here, special for y’all, a selection:
Haha sick, so cool. This is so much cooler than the old school stereograms with like a silhouet hiding in an image. How did you make these?
Idk why I can’t do the cross-eyed, still wanna see if I can get that working as well
These images were created by NASA, though you can make your own by taking two pictures about 4-5 inches apart. Try going to the Parallel View community to see more.
Also, if you know what JMOL is (a molecule viewer), you can make it show you things in stereo by right-clicking, then clicking, iirc, “scheme”–>“stereographic” or “3D”–>“wall-eyed”
Thank you so much! This is so much easier for me.
I wasn’t going to complain or anything, but this post made me realize that I’m actually incapable of viewing cross-eyed. It actually hurt my eye sockets to try.
I also personally prefer wall-eyed viewing, but these just happened to be cross-eyed originally, so I was surprised by the complaints.
In feudal Japon, 19th century, a photographer made a lot of photos from the people in 3D to use in a viewer, hand colored.
(Converted to gif, to see the 3D effect without eye acrobatics)
I have one of these stereoscopes! It came with a bunch of nature scenes, but a few slides had 1800s 3D porn too!
Porn exist since photography and also before, even in 3D, only technology has improved
How to make people on the internet staring at their phones like this:
Worked well for me. Cool stuff!
About 21 years ago (😩) I made a stereoscopic photo for some online contest. I was pretty proud of it.
Edit: please ignore the fact that the light doesn’t match between the shots!
Ooh, nice depth!
Thanks! It was a pain to set up the little screen trick but for what it’s worth, I won the contest!
Now I see it! There’s “depth” on the PDA screen too!
Yep. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, I always say.
Not sure why but those NEVER work for me lol
Not this, not magic eye books, absolutely nothing works.
Tried for many hours back in the day
If you have astigmatism or greatly different lens prescriptions per eye, it may be very hard for it to work.
If you do have astigmatism, you can kind of ‘squeeze’ or scrunch your eyelids down to compensate as you cross your eyes, and it may work better without glasses and closer up
Some people it just never works with
I can only do parallel-view, not crosseyed, those look so surreal that way (inverted height/depth basically)
Works opposite for me. Cross-eyed versions look correct, and the parallel/wall versions have inverted depth.
Same thing with magic eye images, they’re always inverted, like I’m looking into a mold of what the object is supposed to be.
