I Hate Stereograms!

[+WVDan]

There is a cache like that here in West Virginia.

It took me three hours to see them in this one.

These are so cool. There is a site that explains exactly how it works with free software to make your own (not just using words). He has some outstanding examples, one even uses moving dots.

I never used to have a problem seeing these. It would take a minute or two and I could see it perfectly. But I can't read any of the ones posted here at all. I wonder if it has anything to do with being on my tube, rather than on paper.

Is that the right URL? I get a page not found....

[+Sissy-n-CR]

I had to print all af them out to see them, except for the ones on the site I linked to. The printouts were much easier to read.

I rarely see what I'm supposed to see in these things - I just see a bunch of dots. I've been blaming my color blindness untill now, but I tried the B/W version and I don't get it either.

[+AuntieWeasel]

I never can see these daggum things! Yeah, on paper or holding them next to my nose or unfocusing my eyes or any of that. I don't think anybody else can see them, either, and you're all just trying to make me feel stupid

Okay... I suck at trying to do this kind of stuff, and CR isn't here, try this:

Hope that works better!

For years after these became popular I could never see them. Then one night while shooting pool and enjoying my fair share of adult beverages I went to the mens room for some relief. Above the urinal was a copy of the Sunday comics with a stereogram on it, right at eye level. I am just standing there paying no particular attention to anything when all of a sudden a huge 3d train was hovering above the urinal. Have not had a problem seeing them since. So for those of you who can't see them, try getting a few drinks in you first.

Much better, thanks.

 

Looks like way too much work for me to produce one of these. I was hoping for an easy program where I could load a picture and turn it into a stereogram; guess you get what you are willing to work for, eh?

 

Thanks for all the links - I do love these pictures.

Wow that is a cool idea.

 

The BW one is tough to read but the Color one is nice and jumped for me in about 5 seconds. The BW one though took much longer.

The first time I saw a stereogram was in 1993. It was at a friend's house and nearly everyone could see it except for me. A couple of years later, at a local County Fair, they were selling a bunch of different ones. I looked at one and after a while I could finally make out the image. I then went down the line and my eyes were already adjusted so I could look at each one and see the hidden picture. So the two pictures above I saw within a couple of seconds. And Marky's puzzle cache, I was just staring at the numbers one day and I thought, no, it couldn't be. So I adjusted my eyes and saw the coordinates. Although I think his is a little harder to see than the "usual" stereograms. Now I just have to go out and find the actual cache!

My hp printer can't print from DOS. Tried to make a stereogram from this program and it wouldn't print screen either. No use to me.

I've always loved Sterograms. I can see them very easily. I was wondering when someone was going to incorporate them in a cache.

[Cache me, if you can]

dunnoif im going crazy, but i saw a monkey

This 3D-cache was placed out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ... by DadWrap. There really is another dimension to this cache.

 

Now You See it .

[+sTeamTraen]

Doh ! Just yesterday I had the "original" idea to use a stereogram to hide the coordinates of a cache, and now I see that many other great minds have been thinking alike.

 

In fact my idea was to have the stereogram printout in the first stage of a multi, rather than on the GC.com site. I hate setting puzzles for people to get their friends to solve before they set out...

[+DirtRunner]

I put This One out last winter. It was a lot of fun to do something not done in the area before.

 

At the time I thought I was the first, sadly I was mistaken.

 

I hope everyone who visited the cache had a good time...

 

There you have it

My favorite sterogram cache (and first to do) was a VIDEO stereogram (Off the Air Cache), although I watched the video about 40-50 times I never saw it. I showed a co-worker and they said, "yeah you looking for those numbers scrolling across"? DOH! I still can't see them!

[+RoswellJam]

I can see it. I have a few pictures like this. Helps if there is glass in front of the picture (which all monitors should have!!)

Won;t ba able to do the cache though as I am in England . Might use this idea for one of my own though!!
