Ashley in 3D

A few weeks ago, at Sonic, I said to Ashley "hold still," and I took her picture twice, from two different angles, resulting in two nearly-identical pictures.



Why would I do that, you ask?

To make it appear in mind-boggling 3D!


Here's what you have to do.

First, tilt your head just slightly to the right. Not as far as the mannequin here. I messed up when I drew him.

Normally, you wouldn't tilt your head for one of these, but I took the pictures at a bit of an angle, so you're tilting your head to compensate for my clumsiness.

Then, cross your eyes just enough to make the two pictures at the bottom of this post into three pictures. The one in the middle is the only one that matters.

It becomes a combination of both pictures.

If you try to forget that you're looking at a computer screen, and try focusing on objects at different depths, it will suddenly become very vividly 3D.

Click either image for the big version. It works better.


If you're crossing your eyes correctly, but it's still not lined up quite right, try adjusting the tilt of your head. It should be tilted just slightly, almost imperceptibly, to the right.

Looking at the edges of the picture will make you slip out of 3D vision and is a bit disorienting.

Here are some things that look really cool in 3D: try looking at the headrest on the seat, Ashley's bangs, nose and shirt collar, the car door, and, if you're really good, try looking at the reflection in the red car in the background.

I'm going to try to make some really cool 3D shots soon. Stay tuned.

That was painful and unbeneficial. I've never been good at these freaking things.

When you get to be MY age, you gotta work to keep your eyes UNcrossed.

That's sad. Ashley couldn't even do it. She says she can't focus and cross her eyes at the same time.

I don't know why, but I find these super easy. It's really great once you can get it.

For me it's just like rolling my eyes or looking at something in the periphery of my vision (as far as degree of difficulty).

Man.. i can't get it.. like ashley, I can't cross and focus.. it just doesn't work for me.
