Stereograms are fascinating optical illusions that trick our brains into seeing a hidden 3D image within a 2D pattern. Here’s a simple way to explain how you do it:
Relax Your Eyes: Start by relaxing your eyes and not focusing on the image. Imagine you’re looking through the stereogram rather than at it.
Adjust Your Focus: Slowly adjust your focus until the hidden image starts to appear. This might feel like your eyes are crossing slightly.
Depth Perception: Your brain combines the two slightly different images seen by each eye to create a single 3D image. This process is called stereopsis.
Practice: The more you practice, the easier it becomes to see the hidden images.
It’s a bit like a magic trick for your eyes and brain to work together.
