How to see 3-d

Most of the pictures on this site are in 3D.
Some are anaglyphs, and can be seen with standard red/cyan 3d glasses.


Some are displayed side by side in groups of three.
Use the left pair (a&b) for "cross-eyed" viewing.
The right pair (b&c) are for "parallel" viewing.
With a little practice, most people can easily see one or the other.




"Cross-Eyed" 3-d using A & B images

In cross eyed 3-d images the left and right images are reversed.
Simply cross your eyes slightly until the two images combine.
They should eventually appear as two blurry outer images, with one clear 3-d image in the center.
When you see three images instead of two or four, concentrate on the middle one until it becomes 3-d.

If you're having trouble combining the images, hold your finger aproximately 1/2 way to the screen.
Look at your finger, but concentrate on the doubled images on the screen.
Move your finger closer or further until the two images behind it look like three images.
Then focus on the center image until it becomes clear.

 



"Parallel" 3-d using B & C images.

In parallel 3-d, left is left and right is right. You stare 'through' the screen at an imaginary point behind the images.
As you stare 'through' the screen, you should get double vision when your eyes try to see the images separately.
When you are staring through at the right distance, the two images will overlap and become three.
When you see three images instead of two or four, concentrate on the middle one until it becomes 3-d.


Caution!
Viewing 3-d images uses your eye muscles in ways they may not be used to!
It may take a few sessions before you are completely comfortable with it.
If you experience any eye fatigue or discomfort, take a break!
My doctor says...
"Cannabis helps relax eye muscles!!!"

Tips...

Keep your head level, and look straight at the screen (especially avoid side to side tilting).

Don't sit too close. The closer you sit, the harder your eye muscles will have to work to see the 3-d.
