This is not a stereogram. If you look at it a certain way it will not resolve into anything.

A schooner is a sailboat!

Well, this is the first time I see one of these since I got laser'd, and it's the first time I'm seeing it working. It's nice.

I learned this week that these don't work on me because of my shitty eyes.

Trickier than most. Pretty detailed. I think the island is a nice touch. The ropes are also interesting.

The dolphins!

I locked into something, but I have no idea what it is. Cool.

As I child, I always cheated and crossed my eyes to make these work, and saw them as a childā€”concave and unintelligible. Now that I am a man I finally learned to discard childish ways and trigger these properly by staring off into the far distance and tuning out all the stress of the modern world.

Why have I spent so much time staring at these things and never been able to see what people see. I have good eyesight.

It's about unfocusing your eyes in a specific way. Once you do that, your brain will start interpreting this as a layered, 3D image

Iā€™ve tried SO hard, whyā€™s it not worked? Despite ā€œperfectā€ the sight?

I agree that this image is not an easy one to see. Try this one (make sure itā€™s full screen, that makes it easier for me, and start by keeping it physically close to your eyes)

Try on different images, this one's kinda hard to tell what the shape is of. Also it's easier for me to do with bigger images, so maybe try a bigger screen?

It's the opposite of crossing your eyes. Try imagining your focusing your eyes in something past the picture, behind it.

Can confirm. Turning it upside down doesn't change much

Iā€™ve been staring at it for five minutes, and I canā€™t get it to not resolve.

Thanks for reminding me that this exists. My mind is blown again
