The cross-eyed 3D Vision Technique
The goal is too see this cross-eyed picture (or any other one in any size) in 3D just with you eyes ...
Take two printed sheets of paper or better cardboards ***(not
uniform so you can focus on letter or szomething else)
Take one on the left hand, the other one on the right hand.
Now, look with your left eye only ...
Hold the papers rather far in front of you, so you have in your sight something
like in the image below (P1) ...
Now open your right eye for just a second ... you will see breefly something as just below ... Not good ... Your hands are too far from your eyes !
move your hands a few cm closer while looking only with your left
eye only again
and framing like P1.
Now open your right eye for just a second ... you will see something as just
below ... Your hands are still too far from your eyes !
move your hands a few cm closer while looking only with your left eye only
again
and framing like P1.
Now open your right eye for just a second ... you will see something as just
below ... Your hands are now at the right distance !
Try to be precise in
your position ... Then just
move
1
cm
closer
to be sure ...
Now without moving, look / focus at the text on the papers and
without changing you vision, oscillate your head a few times from right to
left paper as to read both texts.
The image present in the center is now 3D cross-eyed.
Try either to look at
it quickly or let your eyes wander progressivelly in the area in between the
paper and then let your brain work for you "unattended :)"
You should succeed,
if is not the first time it will be a next one...
*** In case you have nothing, just try with your hands ...
Updated Jan 31th, 2000 Standard protocol in 5 steps : FIRST CREY IMAGE : Your GOAL, a beautiful Alps scenery at Orcières giving an intense 3D sensation up to 30 Km !
In CREY 3D vision the images are placed like this : the right image on the left, the left one on the right. Second CREY IMAGE : This is the image you will train your eyes and brain on. The two red dots will help you. look at the next images and explanations below then come back to try by yourself. When you are satisfied you can gaze at the first image ... and all images - in any size - displayed for 3D-inverted vision.
Note : If you wear glasses, please keep them on. (For a fast new protocol I just designed jump after step III) I) Put your finger almost against the screen showing the second image on the middle vertical grey stripe slightly under the level of the two red dots as shown on the picture below :
II) Move your finger backwards (not to fast) and look only at its tip. When it is about half way between you and the screen you should have something like the picture below in your field of view : two grey stripes and two more red spots (plus your finger somewhere in the middle, not shown in the picture):
III) When you get this kind of image, forget your finger, and look at the two new red spots in the middle. Take 10 sec now, don't quit them, while taking your finger away. Try to relax your eyes and shoulders. Now either by itself (relax more it could happen naturally) or with some eye movements, the two spots should move one towards the other as illustrated below with the two green arrows. Also tilt you head slightly and slowly rightward and leftward until the two red dots are seen on a perfectly horizontal line. If failure close your eyes for 15 sec and go back to step I
New fast alternative cross-eyed protocol :)) Place yourself about 50cm in front of the screen, precisely in the vertical axis of the two pictures of the second image (with the two red spots). Just keep on looking at the pictures until I say the contrary and put your finger between you and the screen in the axis at 30 cm of your eyes. As you are focusing at the pictures your should see two dark transparent fingers, one on the right and one on the left of the axis ! Now move your finger horizontally between you and the screen in order to see two fingertips .5 cm under each two red spots (precisely placed, this is most important : make lateral moves for positioning and longitudinal ones for separation). Now without any other body movements just look rapidly and precisely at your fingertip ! Instantly you should see a red spot just above it ! Stare at that fused red spot while removing your finger. If you still don't succeed try the famous // protocol used with stereograms ! IV) When the two red spots are fused into one, you see something as illustrated below with a beautiful 3D scenery in the middle ! |
V) As some people have told me that they could the now the 3D image, but it was out of focus ! In that case there is a magic word : RELAX ! Indeed, your brain does it alone ! Remember : shoulders ! What you can try if you do not succeed rightaway is to get much closer or much farther from the screen without letting the 3D image go away. It may work better for you at one meter from the screen or at 25 cm from it (but in the former position it is more tiring).
Another point : You should know that generally the author was looking/aiming at a point near the center (or if nothing available on the middle vertical axis) of the image . Try to focus on a structure of the image located there at middle distance ! E.g. in the picture below at the foot of the tree. It is normal that as in the reality some objects in front will be defocused.
BRAVO ! 3D-cross-eyed vision has no more secrets for you ! Enjoy (:-))
