Stereogram Bootcamp, Day 2

Welcome to Stereogram Bootcamp, day 2 (of 5).

Hope the first eye exercise went well. Now onto the next part.

Image is below. Click on it to make it bigger after you read the easy instructions.

There are two ways to look at a stereogram... by crossing your eyes or to stare through the image. Some favour one technique over the other...and that's why I create images for both ways of viewing. I will always let you know which way the image is set up for.

1. Cross eye viewing...

This next image has more items to look at. Again, cross your eyes a little bit.... just until the two rows merge together in the middle.

Once they merge on top of each other, try to hold your focus and look at each part of the middle row. (When you have your eyes crossed, you will see three rows for this image. If you see four rows...you've crossed your eyes too much)

There is no 3D in this image....I just want you to get these shapes to join on top of each other and get used to looking at a different parts of the image.

2. Stare through the image...

The second way, and also just as good an exercise, is to stare through the image to give the same effect.

This time, you need to have your focus point behind your screen.

A good way to get used to this is to look at your reflection in the screen while you have the image up in front of you. When you do that, your focus is behind the image.

As with the cross eyed viewing, once both images merge on top of each other, try to hold your focus and look at each part of the middle row. (You should see three rows once everything is lined up. If you see four rows, you have focused to far behind the image.)

Again, there is no 3D in this image....I just want you to get these shapes to join on top of each other and get used to looking at a different parts of the image.

That's all for today. Small steps. Remember the goal is to be able to see the 3D stereograms by the fifth day.
