Instructions: stare at the centre between the two pictures, cross your eyes so that you see 3 images, look at the middle one, angle your head side to side till they match up vertically, focus on the resultant 3D picture.
*edit* on Haku's suggestion, have added significantly more depth!

I see a blurry picture in the middle that is probably 3d.

and some don't. Kinda like some folks can twiddle their thumbs in opposite directions I guess...
*edit* might also be to do with whether or not you have 20/20 vision too I guess, which I do as I wear glasses...

Getting them to go in the same direction is surely the task.

rotate thumbs in opposite directions. Helps if you have someone else to see that you actually are as a lot of times when I've shown folks this only they are convinced they're doing it.
I can do this without any thought or struggle, always have been able to, but I've only been able to find maybe 1-2 other people who also can.
Dunno why, just how your made I guess, brain connections and such, mine are pretty 'special' so maybe this is associated in some way?

Some people can't do that?

then in school the next day everyone was trying to do it and no one could, so I showed them I could and I was a playground freakshow from there on!
Actually one or two kids managed to teach themselves how to do it after much practice, which is interesting, if still rather pointless...

I find it very easy to look at these and can happily stare at it in 3D the whole time I'm making them, so it's just a case of fiddling till it looks right basically!

Plz tilt the right image to the left precisely 3.4 degrees -- thx :)

It only works if I zoom out far enough that it's too small to be impressive.

Nice to see someone else gets it!
I genuflect to your superior skillz (and I couldn't give it much more depth as the image simple didn't have any to begin with, might select something silly-deep for the next one, like say, ooh, a sea that disappears to the horizon! ;)

I chose that one because of the levels of depth I could get from it, the alien one does look difficult to turn into a 3d image because there aren't many planes of depth you can recreate
that one did take a bloody long time to split the image up into it's different components though

Especially glad to see these use the cross-eyed method, I've never been able to master the wall-eyed technique.

just a tip for any other speccy b3tans who are having trouble with this - I couldn't get it to work til I took my glasses off, may wish to give that a try if you're having problems.

this and Huka's have made me think: I need to find images with some distance going on!

chop half off, lay it on top, spack the visibility. You can see the differences.

oooh almost got the other one to join up.. but its a sturggle.. i have to seriously fight it and then the images in the middle almost joined but kept drifting apart. lol.. which was trippy enough to watch :D

And for the skillz of course...
Anyone having trouble may find it helpful to hold a finger between the monitor and the eyes, focus on the fingertip, then move it back and forth until you get it right... I just cross my eyes a bit, me.
