Magic Eye: The optical illusion, explained

Merci !

I’m addicted to these images

i still don't see anything

I'm just here bc of the bad apple video 💀

how...

I'm seeing the background as the foreground so it just looks like holes cut out in various shapes! What am I doing wrong?

this was illuminating

It said a ton of things I already knew anyway, but it didn't say anything about exactly HOW such images are being created!

I love this video. Thank you

Some needs to make this into a game shader.

I'll do her

This is kind of like the black and blue dress and white and gold dress predicament but in the 90s lol

Love the winking face at the end 😉

this is fun bro

Still can’t figure out any of these images

Worth it for the Tia Carrere flash back.

What's interesting is that I cannot watch the video without my glasses, but I "can" see the magic eye images without my glasses.

i got a headache

You did it good job!

Vox chick is Fione.

The „wow you did it good job“ made me giggle like a child

Headache.

I saw a conga line for the cathedral am I wrong? or really really special?

They even had these at McDonalds that were purchased with a meal.

That was awesome, but now I have a headache.

From someone who spent years trying & failing with the usual methods, try this: Simply imagine a 'popup' book or gift card made entirely from the exact same wrapping paper (ie the backdrop has the same pattern as the cut-out shapes in front of it). Or imagine looking down at an origami object made from newspaper placed on top of an actual newspaper. This is what the result will resemble. Part of the problem is that if you don't know what to expect, you won't know when it starts to appear. I had no idea if I was waiting for a smiley face or the Mona Lisa! Now that you have a better idea of what you are seeking go back and try the various methods. I wish someone had told me this years ago as I'm sure it would have broken the spell.

I found I had to tilt my head to the right a little to get the guide dots (and the planes, dinos and cakes) to line up horizontally. The guides really made a huge difference; I haven't been able to see a stereoscopic image since the 90s, and then only with guide dots. I seem to recall the Magic Eye books don't have the guide dots, so I could never see the pictures.

Thank you for explaining how these work, especially with the 'wallpaper' type; knowing that each eye looks through its own image helped tremendously.

The host looks like Jodi Arias. :)

A tip that I found useful: make sure you're in a well-lit room. I tried viewing the pictures when it was dark and I couldn't do it, but I tried again today in the light and found it much easier.

watched this just to properly see that magic eye bad apple video, i still don’t see anything and now i have a headache

The dots just disappear for me?

doesn’t work

i did the dionsaur

My vision goes to blurry after the refocus technique

I couldnt see any of them , and NO explainations didn't help at all 😢

I can usually see most of them but some are much more difficult.

OH MY GOD I SAW THE CATHEDRAL!! this is the first time ive ever seen anything on these!! im so happy

This is frustrating :( I can see the extra dot the video says, but nothing comes out of the pattern. Gosh, now I feel bad about myself

I picked up one of those Magic Books in a bookstore back in the 90s and started reading it. I was fascinated immediately and bought it. It took me a couple minutes and I could see everything. Now after 30 years I can see them in just a split second. I also learned how to do the crosseyed method. My wife has never been able to figure it out and she used to think I was pulling her leg with it. Then the school our son goes to had a science day and had magic eye type pictures. No one was able to get them, then I open the book, and I am like, “horse, truck, boat, cow, etc. the second each page was turned. My wife is laughing because she thought I was lying, but the teacher said, “he’s right, on all of them!”

;)

IT DOESN'T WORK ON PHONES !!!

I just want to watch bad apple on a magic eye

i watched a bad apple but its magic eye and i saw nothing but staic

THIS IS SO FUN

If i do this does my vision goes back
