Magic Eye: A New Way of Looking at the World, 3D illusions: Volume 1

Product Information

Autostereograms where patterns in a particular row are repeated horizontally with the same spacing can be read either cross-eyed or wall-eyed. In such autostereograms, both types of reading will produce similar depth interpretation, with the exception that the cross-eyed reading reverses the depth (images that once popped out are now pushed in). This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article by providing more context for the reader. ( September 2023) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) In the late '90s many children's magazines featured autostereograms. Even gaming magazines like Nintendo Power had a section specifically made for these illusions.

People with amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) are unable to see the three-dimensional images. Children with poor or dysfunctional eyesight during a critical period in childhood may grow up stereoblind, as their brains are not stimulated by stereo images during the critical period. If such a vision problem is not corrected in early childhood, the damage becomes permanent and the adult will never be able to see autostereograms. [3] [c] It is estimated that some 1 percent to 5 percent of the population is affected by amblyopia. [25] 3D perception [ edit ]Because of foreshortening, the difference in convergence needed to see repeated patterns on different planes causes the brain to attribute different sizes to patterns with identical 2D sizes. In the autostereogram of three rows of cubes, while all cubes have the same physical 2D dimensions, the ones on the top row appear bigger, because they are perceived as farther away than the cubes on the second and third rows.

Another way is to stare at an object behind the picture in an attempt to establish proper divergence, while keeping part of the eyesight fixed on the picture to convince the brain to focus on the picture. A modified method has the viewer focus on their reflection on a reflective surface of the picture, which the brain perceives as being located twice as far away as the picture itself. This may help persuade the brain to adopt the required divergence while focusing on the nearby picture.

The term stereogram is used as a synonym of stereo pair, autostereogram, and random dot autostereogram throughout the book. A single image random text ASCII stereogram is an alternative to SIRDS using random ASCII text instead of dots to produce a 3D form of ASCII art.In 1844, David Brewster discovered the "wallpaper effect". [5] He noticed that when he stared at repeated patterns in wallpapers while varying his vergence, he could see them either behind the wall (with wall-eyed vergence) or in front of the wall (with cross-eyed vergence). [6] This is the basis of wallpaper-style autostereograms. [3] Smooth gradients can also be achieved with an intelligible pattern, assuming that the pattern is complex enough and does not have big, horizontal, monotonic patches. A big area painted with monotonic color without change in hue and brightness does not lend itself to pixel shifting, as the result of the horizontal shift is identical to the original patch. The following depth map of a shark with smooth gradient produces a perfectly readable autostereogram, even though the 2D image contains small monotonic areas; the brain is able to recognize these small gaps and fill in the blanks ( illusory contours). While intelligible, repeated patterns are used instead of random dots, this type of autostereogram is still known by many as a Random Dot Autostereogram, because it is created using the same process. a b c d Tyler, C.W.

In 1939 Boris Kompaneysky [7] published the first, random-dot stereogram containing a hand-drawn image of the face of Venus, [8] intended to be viewed with a device. Unlike normal stereograms, autostereograms do not require the use of a stereoscope. A stereoscope presents 2D images of the same object from slightly different angles to the left eye and the right eye, allowing us to reconstruct the original object via binocular disparity. When viewed with the proper vergence, an autostereogram does the same, the binocular disparity existing in adjacent parts of the repeating 2D patterns. McLin, Leon N. Jr; Schor, Clifton M. (1988).

Is also known as single image random dot stereogram ( SIRDS). This term also refers to autostereograms where the hidden 3D image is created using a random pattern of dots within one image, [30] shaped by a depth map within a dedicated stereogram rendering program.
