![]() ![]() This widening or shortening of the pattern alters the illusion It is possible to create stereograms using repeating alphabetic characters, addingĪ character to drop a level and deleting one to come back up. ![]() Instead of vast spaces between symbols, the pattern is usually extended andīutted tight against the next repetition. This principle underlies all stereograms. This example uses equally spaced capital Xs to create a sinking pattern: Primitive stereograms can easily be made using a typewriter, word processor or coloured-in graph paper. This "wallpaper effect" can be seen wherever there is a horizontally repeating pattern, such as inside bank envelopes and Sir David Brewster first observed this effect in Victorian wallpaper, shortly after the discovery of stereoscopic vision. ![]() Just by viewing a repeating pattern stereoscopically, it appears to sink away from the page. Viewed by the naked eye and enjoys fame under the name "stereogram". Bela Julesz at the Bell Telephone Research Laboratory, invented the one frame Autostereogram. It was not until forty years later that Dr. Viewed with a stereoscope, differences between the two apparently random pictures slowlyīuilt an image of Venus. The first Random Dot Stereogram was created in 1939 by Boris Kompaneysky andĬonsisted of two blobby designs. With one of the pictures reflected in it. With his nose in line with the join, each eye saw a different mirror Mirrors which came to a point where the viewer stood. Invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone, the stereoscope comprised two vertically mounted Stereographic vision by aiming your pointing fingers at one another 5cm away from your face and slowly bring them together.īy focusing beyond them, you will create a floating sausage, formed from the end of each finger.Īrtists have been capturing the impression of a solid world since 1838 by creating a picture for each eye and using a If you're having difficulties you can practise Uncomfortable it is best not to strain the eyes but to take a rest and return later. Some people find it easier to trick the eye by bringing the page to their nose andĮasing it away without refocusing or by looking at a distant wall and then darting back to the page. As the design slowly takes shape, give it time to form and then try to look around it You need to relax your gaze on the patternĪnd allow your eyes to drift out of focus. To see the image in the stereogram at the top of the page, with the eyes focused behind where the page really is), a three dimensional illusion forms as the subconscienceĭecodes differences in the repeating pattern. Viewed normally, the picture is often no more than frozen television interference. Although invented over a decade ago by Dr Tyler, recent advances in computer technology have brought Stereograms unite both disciplines, squeezing impossible dimensions into wafer thin phone cards and making portalsįrom posters. The problem of squeezing a three dimensional world into a flat page has long challenged the art and science worlds alike. Sneak a look at what's hidden in the stereogram above. ![]()
