VIEWING 3D IMAGES These images will produce a 3D effect when you slightly cross your eyes while viewing them. Here's how. Sit square in front of your monitor, with the image directly in front of you, at about arm’s length Sitting further back makes it easier – you don’t need to cross your eyes as much – but makes the image look smaller Make sure you keep your head level horizontally, tilting your head will prevent you from merging the images While keeping the stereo pair of images in the center of your vision, slowly cross your eyes The stereo pair will go out of focus and you will seem to see three images If you find it hard to cross your eyes, it can help to hold a pen in front of you and look at the tip with the stereo pair in the background Gradually cross your eyes more and more – if using a pen to assist, start it close to the monitor and move it towards your nose Continue crossing your eyes more, until the two images overlap and you see three blurry images Try and hold the center image together – it is possible to “lock” it in place and see it as one image The “locked” center image should appear in 3D! Now the tricky part, focus – while holding the 3D image in place, relax your eyes – drop the pen from your field of view if you are using it If you can keep the 3D image locked and relax your eyes, it should eventually pop into focus What you are doing here is causing your eyes to look at a space between you and the monitor, but focusing the lenses on the monitor. Our eyes never naturally need to do this, so it can be tricky to do at first.
