  It's probably me.. I have burnt receptors in my brain, believe it or not.  What is it?  All I can see no matter what I do is carpet. Is it some sort of writing?  If you don't want to give it away here, please message me, Morphy.

Cosmotaliban is funny.  I wouldn't want to eat an entire Epic Stockyard Burger because my heart would probably stop and I'd have indigestion for a week, but I'd certainly like to try a couple of bites.  It looks interesting.

Seems like there might be a few people who aren't familiar with it so I will just post it publicly. It's basically like a hidden stereoscopic image but instead of using a normal viewer you just have to learn how to focus your eyes the right way and then an image of a ship will "pop out" at you in 3-d.

www.magiceye3ds.com/howtosee3d.aspx

Go here to learn how to view them. They are worth the little effort. Once you learn how to focus right you can train your eyes to almost instantly see them. They are a lot of fun IMHO.  Wink

EDIT: Some are more difficult to see than others. I'll see if I can find some others that are easier to see.

Here's a pic that's amazing to me. Gabby Lopez (second from the left) is an old friend of mine who just got an acting gig on the channel abc family. Smiley

Once you get a few of the easier ones they all become fairly easy. These all seem to work best for me when I'm no more than 2 feet away from the screen.

And two that are a little tougher.

Back when I had 20/20 vision, I could see them, now, as I get older, no joy.  I had to be next to the actual picture, I have never been able to see anything 3-D on a screen, it always looks flat.  Bill

looked at it for as long as i could, and something seemed to be happening, but that was it. nothing happened you know? probably because my eyes were dry?

You might try this kid... Focus your eyes till you see that "something" your talking about and then slowly lean closer to your screen (or if your too close, then slowly back away) while keeping that weird focus until the 3d image pops out at you. I just tried to see it and I got to that part your talking about and it wouldn't show up. Then I slowly leaned in closer until it did. Might give that a shot.

Great, if you like blue shag carpet, I guess.


You know it's a magic eye picture right Thom? Can't tell if your just kidding or not over the net.

Not kidding. And what is a "magic eye picture"?

Edit: never mind. I looked it up and read how to view the thing. Really, I'd never heard of this. I'm not entirely at home in the virtual world.

Magic Eye actually started in print, and works just as well in print as online. I'd argue it works better, as staring at a screen right next to you is somewhat prone to causing eye strain. The virtual world has nothing to do with it.

OK, Knaight, maybe the concept of magic eye pictures predates the electronic version of virtual reality, but it appears that there are programs that can generate the pictures quickly and easily, and the internet makes them available to a wider audience than would be the case otherwise.

Optical illusions and trompe l'oeil decorations have been around for a long time, so it's not surprising that these hidden 3D images would also be known. It's just that the computer makes them easier and more well known. Just as the printing press made books more available than hand-copying by scribes could.

I remember when these things first came out walking by a kiosk in the mall and seeing like 25 people just standing there silently staring at "blue shag carpet." Like a scene straight out of "Invasion of the body snatchers."

I went to the url you suggested, Morphy, and even when I knew what was supposed to be there I still couldn't make it appear.  For what ever reason, be it my funky eyes or my poor old damaged brain, it just doesn't work for me.
