Description
This is a "cross-eyed stereogram" of a 3D Mandelbrot set fractal.
To view it, sit at a comfortable distance from your monitor and look at the dividing line between the images. Then hold your finger about halfway between your eyes and the screen so it appears just at the bottom of the image. Then look at your finger and slowly move it closer to your nose. This will cause you to cross your eyes. As your finger gets closer to your eyes, the left and right images will cross over and at some point you should see a stereoscopic view in your field of vision between the two images on the screen. It takes a little practice. Once you are able to see the stereo image, you should be able to hold your eyes in position and remove your finger.
The image was generated with FractalWorks, a free high performance fractal rendering program for Macintosh computers.

Unbelievable pop, excellent...it only took a few moments to come into view, you basically get three images when you do this right, and the center image becomes dynamically 3 dimensional...EXCELLENT POP!

Excellent illusion. It's hard for me because of a sight deficiency, but that only makes it more interesting when I am able to see it. Love it!

polterbyte, Would a colored anaglyph image work better? I've created a number of anaglyph images tool. You need red/cyan 3D glasses to view those, however. Here's a link: Fractal anaglyphs gallery I also have a bunch of "normal" 3D images here: FractalWorks 3D fractals gallery
