Gary, just cross your eyes until the images fuse. Much easier than random-dot stereograms since with those you don't have any references until the images are actually merged. And you discovered that putting them closer together, or reducing them, also makes it easier. If you can't normally focus on a single object about four inches in front of your face (just about duplicates the same eye configuration for freely fusing stereo images at normal reading distance), you won't be able to cross your eyes enough to do it without moving the stereo images further away from your face. Putting them closer together, laterally, helps also but the limit is reached when they are in contact. I do own a stereo viewer and I still prefer just free-fusing images 3 times out of 5, except when my arms aren't long enough... C. --- Gary Liptrot <n7zi@comcast.net> wrote:
Unearthly feast for the eyesJoe, This is just like viewing Random Dot Stereograms except my eyes will only let the images overlap a little less than half... hmmmm.
Ok, I reduced the images to 50 percent in Microsoft Photo Editor (the Windows 98 free default). I could then put them next to each other and given a minute I could bring them together. I wish I had viewers that would let me use the full pictures. I have plans for one somewhere in this mess... B)
