I thought my depth perception was bad because of watching stereograms 
too much.

that's more or less what works best for me too, except
I stay very close until the eyes adjust a bit and don't
move sideways as it distracts me too much.

First attempt it took me 3 minutes to get it into focus,
which was exactly time for the screen-saver to kick in.
That starfield simulation sure looked odd then ;)

Great Job!

Oh wow! This is the first time in my LIFE I've EVER been able to see one 
of these things. For many years I was actually convinced the whole thing 
was an 'Emporer's new clothes' scam. But using this technique, I've 
FINALLY seen an image inside the mess!

Thankyou!

Cheers!

No problem :) The code for it should be ready soon.

Wow, thanks. I didn't realize my technique was any kind of improvement 
over the traditional way.

There are many techniques possible. The one that works best for you may be 
totaly useless for the guy next to you.

That was way cool! It didn't take me long to see it, unlike those in books and
posters where I had to stare at them for what seem to be forever LOL. Nice job
:)

Many peoples find it easier to perceive the image with stereograms on a computer 
screen rather than printed.

A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light 
a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.
