What Do You See?
Dr. Scan Man and Arunn have been posting optical illusions … and of course, being a terrible copy cat, I had to do the same thing … only I’m posting a different type.
Let me know what you see here:
When I first became acquainted with these, my kids were all teen agers. They would all tell me “I see a blanketey blank” … and I thought that they had all agreed ahead of time on what they would say … like some elaborate joke to make Moofie feel as if she’d lost her mind … as if I needed that sort of thing to begin with! 0.o
One day, I just got so tired of trying to see what they all were telling me that they saw that I just stared at a stereogram picture until my eyes lost their focus, and I was just “fuzzing out.” Suddenly, a very clear, 3 dimensional picture appeared before my eyes … blowing me away! I was shocked that there really was an image there, hidden in the graphics.
Those of you who aren’t familiar with these … let your eyes lose their focus, continuing to stare at the picture. A three dimensional object will appear in the middle of the graphic. Another method is to cross your eyes … although that one does not work for me, it’s the only way my son, Dougie, can interpret these.
Let me know if you like these. I have megs of them on my computer, and I’d love a chance to share them! :o)
And now, it’s almost 12:30 AM here, and i have to hit the sack. I have company coming tomorrow. I’ll take pics and post them! I wish you all a good night … a peaceful sleep … and dreams that make the sleep worthwhile!

I see like a star shaped thing thing. Not really sure how to describe it.

I see a seven sided cone shaped star coming out at me….I must admit, I like these things. I find the few minutes it takes staring at the screen waiting for the image to materialize is actually quite relaxing! :)

mmmm.. my star shaped cone-like divergent thingy has eight sides…

my stupid MG interferes … my eyes start to go crosseyed, then won’t uncross.
The old saying of “don’t do that or your eyes will stay that way!” happens to be true of me. *pout*

I see a star that is pointing towards the surface of the screen. I think I am good with stereograms. But I failed miserably with scanman’s cow. Mooooooo….

A horizontal interwoven bric-a-brac type of pattern. Two full rows of them crossing the middle with a partial at the top and at the bottom.
The dots are repetitive across the entire image. The pattern is mirrored by a dark pattern. The dark looks more like a diamond shape with a green dot in the middle of each one.
later…

I am hopeless Moof ! I simply CANNOT see anything other than dots.. like stars on a midsummer sky. And same with any such optical games. Tried fading out, tried cross-eyeing.. nope ! Not a hope !

I can’t see anything but all those nice dots. I have stared at it for atleast 10 minutes until my eyes went crosseyed all by themself and still nothing. I’m not good at this Moff. Goodness that two faced cat I posted a week or so again I had to study for awhile to find his other face. I’m Pathetic!!

I tried it with my glass’s on and with them off.
With glass’s: the face of Christ from the Shroud of Turan.
Without Glass’s: Cynthia McKinney dancing a line dance to the hampster song.

I see the frustum of a star cross-sectional cone laid in a coordinate that starts at the surface of the computer screen and grows into the depth of the screen.
As a 3 dimensional picture, the larger star surface with the seven crests is at the fore-front, with the seven crests meeting in a far off smaller star with seven crests, placed at a distance going into the computer screen - the depth of the picture.
I would agree with Pattie (and not scan man…who always seems to have difficulty in adding, like he did in another post of mine…;) (Scan Man, you will have your chance later on, to pull mine)
BTW, if any of you are interested, the post where I presented an optical illusion is here.

Arunn … you’re picking on poor Scan Man! ;o)
If you are seeing a segmented star, you’re not seeing the full sized picture. It’s 600px across. If your browser is changing the picture size, it will produce some odd results.
