The Logical Approach to Seeing 3D
-- Understand Where to Aim Your Eyes --
There are three basic ways of looking at 3D stuff with both eyes...
Normally, if you look at or read something on the computer monitor, you aim your eyes directly at the surface of the monitor. You may already have mastered this technique (have you had a lot of practice?!). If you use normal viewing to look at 3D images, you just won't see 3D.
With the parallel method (a.k.a. the divergence or Magic Eye method), the lines of sight of your eyes move outward toward parallel and meet in the distance at a point well behind and beyond the image. That's why it's called parallel viewing. When you parallel-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing lens relax and lengthen.
NOTE: there are several parallel-viewing sections in the 3D gallery. All Magic Eye stereograms are set up for parallel-viewing.
Another method for 3D viewing is called cross-viewing or the cross-eyed method. You aim your eyes so that the lines of sight of your eyes cross in front of the image. When you cross-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing lens contract strongly and shorten.
