I find it almost impossible to view them when placed Left-Right - my eyes must "aim" for a very distant point, but focus close, and the images must be closer to each other than my eye separation ~63 mm (except perhaps for Marty Feldman) Instead, I reverse the images (Right-Left) and "cross" my eyes. This can be trained - hold a finger or pencil in front of the images, so that it appears to point on the corresponding spot of the two images (by also adjusting the distance eye-pencil-images). This works for any size image (but is more difficult if you watch too close) Then you seem to see three fuzzy images. Concentrate on the middle one, and try to focus on it - perhaps by first removing the pencil quickly (slowly?). I've long since stopped using these aids - I can focus "automatically" if I have a good 3D pair. > only a small fraction of the population is able to do this > without optical aid -- this is the same "skill" required > to see those "Magic Eye" posters that were popular several > years back... --Rob > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/seesat/seesatindex.html
