For those of you who are having trouble seeing it, really all you can try to do is imagine that whatever screen you're looking at is transparent, and then try to look *past* it, "into the distance". The beauty of these pictures is that once you hit the right amount of divergence, the repeating patterns will lock themselves into place, and you'll be able to look around and see the hidden stuff freely, without your eyes converging back. Then, do it enough times and you will have full control over the divergence. Take it slow though. Start with the picture with the Airplanes, Dinosaurs and Cakes, it is a HUGE help! For those of you who are gonna say that this is fake, the hidden message at 6:31 is "wow you did it" and "good job", and for the still skeptical, the one at the end is a winky face.

@MatBaconMC

Ok, my advice is, forget the dots. They will confuse your eyes, since you gotta look from them down to the image. Oh, and don't move near your screen, that's not necessary! What you can try doing instead is finding two repeating spots in the image, preferably in the middle, and then try to align these two into one [the "looking through/beyond your screen" thing]. Once you manage to get them aligned, just stare at that one newly formed spot and the hidden image will slowly appear around your periphery. I say really, just start with the picture at 5:06. Align the two center dinosaurs, keep your eyes there, and the whole image will lock into place. Then just do it over and over again until it becomes muscle memory, and you're good to go! Hope it helps!

I have spent 27 years unable to do Magic Eye, and thanks to Vox and some wonderful KZread commenters I can now see the hidden images!!! This feels life changing. Thanks, folks!

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!”

another good trick that worked for me as a kid was to put your face reeeally close (nose touching the screen) and sloooowly move backwards, away from the screen. if your eyes cross, start over. it should stay blurry, but not double. If you cross your eyes, the image will be backwards, like with the background popping out instead of the image.

One thing people forget to mention is, in addition to diverting your eyes you must also keep your eyes (head) parallel to the picture. If the pic is straight then turning your head to one side or the other (even slightly) will make this much harder. There were a couple in this video that were skewed to the right and I needed to turn my head to see the image

The easiest way I found to practice this is to let your eyes diverge when it feels like they should. Try looking at something very close to your face. So close that it's hard to keep it in focus, and something small so you can still see the background. Your eyes will "want" to diverge because of the difficulty of focusing on something so close.

Assuming you have no problems with your eyes, it can take practice and patience to be able to teach yourself to divert your eyes easily. The way I taught myself when I was younger, was to get the image close to my face, look through it and then slowly pull it away until the trick pops out. It takes effort and focus to force your eyes to... well, not focus. Now I can do most magic eye things in a few seconds. I surprised myself on a couple of them with how quick I got it!

When I was a child, I would sometimes accidentally focus each eye separately on a a repeated image in a chain-link fence. This made these stereograms easier to see later, occasionally even doing a "double-deep" where you focus each eye on point's double-wide apart, making the image appear deeper, or in the case of "Magic Eye" (I own a first edition), scramble the image in some cases. Cool piece by Fong!

Until today, with your instructions about how to use the guide dots, I have never been able to see the images. Thank you so much for making this video!

Finally! 30 years later, I can finally see these images! Thank you Vox. I had no idea I was missing out on this.

Pro tip: this is also a great trick to win any game of "find the 7 differences"... just look each image with one eye, and the differences will pop out...

I couldn't see the images, but at least Joss is pretty easy on the eyes.

As a person who has only had the full use of one eye since birth, this has been very interesting to see the mechanics of how this works. I've never experienced the images that others have, nor any effect from 3-D pictures or movies. My limited depth perception is built from other senses (as shown at 2:22). Quite interesting for sure - thanks, Joss.

Yes, although who is St. Bayzil?

I first noticed this effect as a child staring at a ceiling with a repeated pattern. I noticed sometimes that the pattern seemed to pop out of the ceiling. I was a scientifically minded child and quickly worked out what was happening. I didn't see one of these stereogram images until much later but my experience as a child meant I could immediately see the image. It's pretty cool.

This popped up on KZread today. I was commenting to my wife how this was the best video on autostereogram I have ever watched, when the shark autostereogram I made when I rewrote the corresponding Wikipedia article came up. Even then I wasn't surprised. Later the credits came up. Kudos to the team for attention to the last detail. This is truly a master piece, not only in content, facts, and excellent explanation, you really put your 100% into it. Bravo.

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.

Shaun Dreclin I haven't tried that before, but I've changed the angle and moved it up-down, left-right, which seems to give it a greater illusion of depth. I gonna try and move it forward and back next time, but still it's quite hard to keep my eyes in divergent focus. I have noticed how it seems to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Holding the eye position seems to give an intense feeling of relaxation. Just tried moving it back and forward. This seems to make the illusion vanish. If the distance of the image changes, but the angle of the eyes doesn't then the eyes will probably enter the wrong state of focus. I'm probably going to have to gain better control if I wish to do this.

I looked at these so much as a kid that I still can do it within less than a second. and even side by side 3D images are easy to do for me.

1:11 The image of the cathedral in this illusion is so clear that I can inspect its features from top to bottom. Good one!

Converge is a great band.

Another interesting information: There are actually 2 ways of seeing those. I have always seen the 3D-pictures, but they went INTO the book. When I spoke with my fiance about this book, she told me that they were coming OUT OF the book. That confused the heck out of me. Apparently I have been doing it correctly, but also incorrectly??!?! Did someone have the same experience? (Btw, this book was also an immense hit in Germany!)

Not really incorrect, but most are made for divergent view, if you converge it will "pop-under" the page. There are some that are made for convergent view (and so they will pop-out) and if you diverge they will pop-under.

Yes!! I also see them going "into". I thought I might have something wrong with my vision? Sometimes I see the many "layers" in 3D going deep into the back of the page (if that makes sense?)

@@shingalani Makes total sense. Is nothing wrong with your vision, you are just not using the intended technique. Sometimes there are 2 versions of the same stereogram, one for convergent view and other for divergent view. I can use both relatively easy but divergent is now harder for me when the "amount of divergence" is great. I'm just getting old, i guess....

Thanks for the great video. This technique can be used in finding different spots between two images, as they start "blinking".

I find doing these on a computer screen is really painful. I could see all of them except the black and white ones for some reason. I guess it's because my eyes naturally go out of focus when looking at the coloured mess and aren't used to doing it with black and white images.

I think that's WHY we can't do it, tbh. I was once thrown out of an eye test my eyesight is so good, NOT focussing or trying to unfocus gives me a headache. Not worth it, imo. If I want to see a picture of a shark, I'll go look at a picture of a shark.

I have really bad eyesight and could see all of them. I think being able to see them might not be such a good thing. Just thank your eyes for not being able to see them. It does take significantly more effort to see them on the computer screen though.

I first learned of stereograms while learning to shoot skeet way back in grade 8. Helped a little aiming at a moving target with both eyes open!

My dad was into these so we had several books about it including one really nice one that did a thorough exploration of the history of stereograms and besides the typical "magic eye" ones also had vintage stereo photographs and a number of Salvador Dali's stereo paintings (yes Dali was into 3D goggles)

I just feel like that guy off the movie Mallrats. I can't do any of these. Seeing the photoshop thing was amazing for me.

For me, the biggest help is to make it so you can easily "look through the image". This means having something reflective in front of the image. Something like a transparency sheet. Then, you can hold it up to the page or screen and look at an object reflected by it. The 3D image should easily appear.

The whole point of these is to diverge your eyes, so you are doing it correctly. Don't cross your eyes for these types if images.

If you're still having trouble there's a trick that helped me: watch this video on a tablet or smart phone, pause on one of the images so you have plenty of time, bring the phone close to your face so your nose is almost touching it and you see the iPhone in double vision, imagine looking through the phone at the wall behind it and slowly move the phone away from your face, keep your eyes focused on the wall behind the phone, don't fixate on the phone, and try not to blink. When the phone is at the right distance from your face the image should pop out! It may fail the first couple of times, just keep trying. Good luck!!

Thanks for telling me the mechanism of the stereogram!!

I remember when these became popular, right around 1993 like she stated. The idea was super intriguing, and I jumped right into trying them. However, it was very difficult at first. You had to strain your eyes a lot and look at an image for a while, sometimes 10 minutes, before the magic finally happened (and then it was amazing). Because there's a mental exercise to it, a technique you kind of have to train and figure out for yourself. What might surprise folks is that it's actually easy to do, once you figure it out. It's really easy. The hard part is figuring out how for the first several times, because it can't be explained, and your eyes just aren't accustomed to what to "do". Once you do it enough times, eventually you "just get it". Ever since, I can look at one and pop out the 3D immediately. My mind just knows what to do, it takes almost zero effort. What's even more amazing is that this ability is reflexive, and sticks with you. I think I went 5-10 years or more where I forgot about these, and didn't look at one the entire time. Even after all that, I pulled my old books out of storage, and was like "oh yeah!"... and was surprised I could just instantly do the 3D. I suppose it's just like a bike, musical instrument, or skiing / snowboarding. You just learn it in some subconscious part of your brain, with practice, and a little experimentation. Then it just sticks; you can do it without even having to think about it.

Wow, all these years I had been converging my eyes instead of diverging. It feels a lot harder to look past the image, but the 3d effect is way more impressive than looking in front of it.

Awesome video! I remember when they first came out: I was so frustrated because I couldn't see the pictures for MONTHS.

Just like life, often seems like noise but we sense there's something profound just beyond our grasp or only able to bring to focus briefly.

The only thing i got from this is that Joss Fong is soo damn beautiful!!!!!

yes I did, you need to train your eyes for sometime... place two small objects like sand stones on your window...and look through your at object that kinda away until you see a double image of your sand stones...and then play around with the double image until you can the two middle sand stones come together to see three sand stones instead...try to focus on the middle stone...then try the images

For anyone who is having trouble with the stereograms: The first time I watched this video, it was from a smartphone. I couldn't see a thing. The next time I tried on a bigger screen (notebook). It worked in all of them. In bigger images it gets a little bit easier to achieve focus! Good luck everyone!!! ;)

Okay, Vox, here's a question for you: why, for me, do steroogams and Magic Eyes invert? As in, I can see them easy enough, but they poke INTO the image rather than bulge out. Why does this happen? AM I THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO?

Stare at something in the distance, but not too far, like maybe your TV or computer. Then raise the image into your line of sight, but don't focus on it. That's how I trained myself to do it

this was the 1990's version of 'the dress' people saw nothing or an object, while we had black and blue or white and gold

Great video! I've always been curious about how these work and now I know! I've never had any trouble seeing these images but weirdly, watching this video on my TV I couldn't see any of them! Watching on my phone I could see them all.

Right before Magic Eye exploded in the 90's, I remember seeing the random dot stereogram in the magazine Omni.

I love when she explains things to me

I hated them as a kid, could never made them work
