Actually, the English word "image" simply means a representation of a person or thing ... including such truly 3-D representations as a statue or bust. What you have been saying about "image" applies to the word "picture" -- which is by definition flat or 2-D -- but not the word "image." Etymology bears this out. "Image" comes from the Latin imago, which was often used by the Romans to refer to statues or busts; whereas "picture" comes from the Latin pictura which originally meant "a painting." So there is nothing contradictory about the term "3-D image," but, technically, it would have to refer to a statue or something like that. As you and others have already pointed out, though, people tend to use that term somewhat inaccurately to refer to a picture that gives the illusion of being 3-D.

Erm, "image," just as nearly every other word has multiple meanings.

In other words, RMJ and Spysmasher, you are both right.

If ur talking about a First Person Shooter. I defeinitely wouldn't want one there because then the virtual Alizee could die and all the players would be sad

and as for 1,2,3,and 4 D. I don't really care about the things that only exist in math they tend to be boring and worth practically nothing but can still get you a bad mark in school. You can classify it as anything you want but I want to see Alizee in real life, with as many dimensions as it may have

Rather than pursue my off-topic escapades in the Motivator's thread, I thought I'd just bump this fossil of a thread.

You need to do it like your eyes/brain work.

For stills; 2 pics with x and/or y off-set.
For moving pictures; 2 camera's with identical lenses etcetera.
The effect depends heavy on choosen focallength and object distance.

And after all you still need the aid of colorshifting or synchronised LCD glassses.

1 point of view (like this) with different object shape, just gives you headache.

I admit I am a complete amateur and yes these images do induce headaches, but some of them do work nonetheless . And until one of us is able to get Lili in front of a camera, they shall suffice :





And finally, a really good one from Acetone over at AF:

be careful, many people got cross eyed from doing too much magic eye stuff.

Haha, duly noted. Although, I actually did some research and found that crossing your eyes utilizes the same muscles that any other eye movement uses, so it actually makes your eyes stronger. But still, I think I'm done with these stereogram things...at least for a while .

If you know how to cross your eyes skip the next paragraph.

Put your finger about 1 foot infront of your eyes and focus on it, slowly move your finger toward your face until you can no longer focus on it anymore. You just learned how to cross your eyes, practice that some more - practice until you can do it without your finger.

Cross your eyes until the two images converge (or focus into the distance, though I think that is harder) and with a little practice you will be seeing this beauty in 3D

Dont worry if it takes awhile to figure it out, it took me almost 20 minutes..

wicked...that was sweet after about 5 mins of straining i finally saw it XD

Too much crossing eyes, head hurts

Hehe, I liked your gifs, snatcher. And Ace's Acoustic one xD

For folks who wear glasses... take them off! That's very important for trying to get these "Magic Eye" type things the first couple times.

They work better with glasses for me, maybe coz im near sighted
