This is a "magic eye" 3-d image. See if you can detect the hidden message. Click on the image if you want to view it on a blank screen.

I can see it but not well enough to make it out. :ponder:

See a pattern - When I take off my glasses - but I cannot make it out

If it were text as opposed to a graphic file and highlight it to reverse the contrast and show in inverse colors

This one is a bit tougher to get to resolve than most Magic Eye graphics. I can see it in both the graphic as it appears in my post and the "clean" graphic that appears if you click on the graphic in my post. It is easier for me to resolve in the "clean" graphic, though.

I have never been able to see the invisible pictures in these "3D" image pictures.

Can't see this one, and have never seen other ones..:confused:

If I'm back 8-10 ft from it and at a slight angle, I see a pattern, but nothing I'd call 3-D. But I don't know that my eyes have ever deciphered one of these hidden picture pictures. Maybe I'm expecting too much....

Wow -- I have never seen one w/ just text before. Very cool!

I guess I better go do something productive now... ;)

For those who can't see it, try crossing (unfocusing) your eyes into a blur. As Kurt mentioned, this one is not a pattern, it's text.

Where is your picture Steve? I don't see it but I see many "hearts" vaguely. :)

Hint: This one is not a picture or a pattern. Text pops out with an amusing message. You need to unfocus your eyes and brain.

I guess I don't have enough imagination. From a distance, I can see spaces but no specific pattern. Up close, just words.:(

Nope, can't do it, and my eyes hurt.

Is the text part of the original words, or in the white squiggly background? Is it something completely new and bigger that pops out?

Small words in the text pop out. However, I refuse to obey.
When these things became popular in pictures years ago, it took me forever to learn how to let the image come to me. After that, they were lots of fun. This one is different from any I've looked at before.

Well, I can figure it out, but I still can't make it pop out visually. Grrr.

I'm like Stricky, except after 6 beers I couldn't find the fridge.

I used to own a computer store that custom-made these kinds of images for people. They were extremely popular. The trick to viewing it is as follows:

Sit or stand roughly arm's length from the screen. Imagine you are focusing THROUGH the screen to a place roughly a foot behind it. If your primary focus is "behind" the image, your peripheral vision will pick up what the image shows. If you focus ON the image, it won't work.

Also note: If you have astigmatism, it won't work for you.

Have fun!

Dave (who has astigmatism, and has never been able to see one of these things. :))

I still can't quite make it out. I'm starting to suspect however that somehow you're wasting our time. :ponder:

So for those of you who can see the message, how many times does the message appear?

When I look at the image most of the time the message appears twice (i.e., four floaters). But about 25% of the time, I only see single instance of the message (two floaters).
