I wonder if some of the people that can't see magic eye images think that the rest of us just lying and there isn't actually anything to see.

I've never had trouble seeing them inverted, but the regular way takes a little more concentration. Always fun though. -------------------- "I'm not crazy!" "Well, whatever.

I can actually see the images in them both ways. If you naturally allow your eyes to blur the image the way they describe then you'll see it correctly. If you force your eyes to cross, then you'll see an 'inverted' image. -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

I always used to think this was a hoax as well, but I have recently gotten them to work, they really do work if you do them right. I find ones printed on paper are easier than ones on computer screens. Nails on a chalkboard, on the other hand, is a true hoax. I don't understand why people pretend that it hurts them, it just isn't that bad. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Lego, you continually surprise me with your strangeness. For the most part, I can't see them... it takes a long time for my eyes to adjust correctly. When I see them, I see them the normal way, whatever that means. But they're generally boring. EDIT: That's odd... I think Dikiyoba made an invisible post. EDIT2: And it's back. Eh, whatever.

Once or twice I've seen images (and that's how I know you're not all lying :P ), but most of the time I can't see anything special. Dikiyoba would probably be better at it if Dikiyoba practiced more, but Dikiyoba never found them all that fascinating. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Originally by Ephesos: quote:You make it sound like it was intentional. :P Originally by Kingy: quote:It depends on the person. I bet it really does bother some people that much. Dikiyoba doesn't mind screechy chalk, but Dikiyoba onced worked on a project near a bathroom with really loud hand dryers. They didn't bother anyone else, but they disturbed Dikiyoba so much Dikiyoba winced and ground Dikiyoba's teeth together every time one came on.

When I get really tired, I have to concentrate not to see the magic eye pictures because my eyes just relax and go blurry on their own. Yet once again, I can go both ways. -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

I'm able to see them, but only sometimes. I can't figure out when or why. —Alorael, who does cringe when he hears nails on chalkboards. It's not physically painful, but it's very irritating. Some people find the sound of styrofoam squeaking equally unbearable, but it's not as bad for him. What really gets him, though, is the sound of someone crumpling up a napkin.

Crumpling a napkin makes a sound? That's new to me. Anyway, I see them every now and then, but I usually cannot. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Oh yeah. Styrofoam is the worst. Chip bag crinkle sound is also really annoying. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

The idea of nails on a chalkboard, or a fork scratching over a plate, or touching a pot made of burnt, unglazed clay all give me goosebumps. Not very bad, but it's irritating. And I remember being able to see a magic eye picture once. Since then, I've been satisfied that it *is* possible, and usually given up in irritation when it didn't work in a few seconds on later attempts. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I'm pretty sure that website provides enough information about the creation of the images to verify that there is no hoax. [ Monday, December 11, 2006 06:26: Message edited by: Lt.

I have bad eyes, too, like Kel. My left one is really short-sighted. In fact, everything is blurred with it, no matter how close I am to things. That said, I *did* see the guy in the boat (after cheating to see the answer). Although I guess it might just have been my mind forcing it onto the image. Otherwise, they don't work. Also, 3D glasses don't work for me either. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? *Name by Slarty, so blame him if it's filthy...

I am a true believer, and therefore can see them. For some reason, though, I find it much harder when the image is on a screen instead of on a piece of paper. You know what's the real hoax? People claiming that UBB made the previous post in the thread invisible until after they made their own post. Don't believe them; they're just attempting to increase paranoia. -------------------- The sun comes up just about as often as it goes down, in the long run, but this doesn't make its motion random. - Seminumerical Algorithms (Donald Knuth) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Kel: quote:My eyes have different prescriptions and yet I can see the image with or without glasses (corrected or uncorrected).
