This is quite interesting. Have any good optical illusions you want to share with your fellow NSGers?

stare at something for a long time it will start moving (best to do this with wallpaper with planes on or something)

If this is completely weird and knew to you I will be very scared

Damn... I just opened this thread in IE and all I see is a red "X". Works fine in Firefox, though. Maybe because it's a .gif file?

There is, keep trying. It's just that THEIR SERVAR IZ TINY, and can't cope with the might of NSG!

The dino pic's quite cool, though, but it could be done better.

I'm using SeaMonkey, but even on Firefox it didn't work. I did however upload it to my photobucket, where I could promptly see it - but when I posted the link here for Rhaomi to use it was only a static picture, not the moving .gif. :rolleyes:

I always liked those computer-generated images where you cross your eyes and there's a 3-d image floating above the dots . . . Magic Eye?

I'd like to see some of those posted :)

eta: Thanks Junii!

Meh! Just cross your eyes enough that one repetition lays over the one next to it, and hold it.

can you cross your eyes? I find slowly crossing them helps. there will come a point where your focus will shift and the pic will pop out.

Gah, whenever I do those the imgage pops down rather than up, and on the computer screen it makes it almost impossible to tell what it is. Curse my brain!

Give your brain time to figure it out, it takes a bit.

Now that is funky! :eek:


It didn't work :(It never does. I can't do those for the life of me and I'm an excellent eye-crosser and weird-stuff-seer.

I saw your lilac chaser immediately after just glancing over at the pic, though. :)

Neato! I'm used to the reverse effect: spend an hour inside a green tent, then everything looks red when I come out :p

That's the price you must pay to the Magic Eye gods.
Dinaverg

Eh, lilac chaser's all interesting...till I get it. I mean, you stare at the magenta dots and green dots appear there. The green and magenta cancel out to gray, so they disapear on a grey background. And where the magenta dot is gone, nothin's cancelling the green.

Still though, it's one of the cooler illusions out there.

here... try this.

the two dots on the bottom. you want to cross your eyes to the point where you see three... and only three dots. when you can do that. then look at the pic.

yeah, it made me feel kind of sick too, not really sick but a little bit weird. this way i'll never taste the many joys of Magic Eye 3D pictures.

If you move off the dots as soon as there's three, you'll lose it, most likely. I prefer to use something right in the image, ye?

thanks, very interesting, but i think it must be the lack of sleep. maybe if i'm a little less tired i won't feel bad that fast (and maybe i've been looking to a screen for to long today).

if you train to get to that point of three dots, then you can do that to get to the image.

Well, yeh, but if you could do that in the first place and hold it, you could just pick any old feature on the image.

Like this. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Stereogram_Tut_Shark.png) try and get two tigers to overlay, and stay.
