It is lighter in the center and becomes darker as it moves out to the edges. A sphere rendered as a depth map image (shown above left) is very different. Without these "visual cues" it would just be a flat red circle.

In real life, we identify a sphere, such as the example shown on the left in red, because it has a core shadow and a highlight. It’s like slicing an objects into 256 thin layers. All the other shades of gray represent the layers of depth in between. White comes to the very front and black goes all the way to the back.
Stereogram pictures software#
A depth map image is a black and white image comprised of 256 shades of gray that our software uses to create three dimensional depth. The specialized stereogram software we use reads the light and dark information from the depth map image and uses this information to create a magical 3D image. Hidden Image Stereograms (HIS), made from seemingly random patterns are crafted from two components: the repeating pattern and the depth image. And the best part is after you have seen your first 3D Stereogram, it gets easier and easier to see the next and the next and the next. Your brain combines these two slightly different views into what we perceive as 3D depth. Whatever you are looking at will appear to jump back and forth. How It Works Each of our eyes sees the same scene but from a slightly different point, You can see this difference by looking out a window and alternately closing one eye and then the other eye and repeating this a few times. But the good news is that the great majority of us were born with fully functioning stereographic vision and are perfectly able to enjoy the magic of 3D Stereograms. And some people have vision problems that make it difficult or impossible to see stereo-graphically. There are rare exceptions in which some people are physically unable to process stereographic information. All you need are two eyes, a Stereogram or two with which to practice, and a bit of patience. So instead of seeing a 3D tricycle or airplane, you will see a tricycle or airplane-shaped hole.If you have never been able to see a 3D Stereogram, you're in for a magical experience. If they are viewed cross-eyed, by focusing on a point in front of the image, then the effect will be reversed. The stereograms above are designed to be viewed wall-eyed, by allowing your vision to focus on a point behind the image. How do stereograms change the shape of the image? When you perceive them, the objects will appear three dimensional, sometimes resting on different levels of depth. Some stereograms don’t have hidden images and consist of several objects placed in rows. Another type of stereogram consists of two images taken from slightly different angles, viewed through a stereoscope so that each eye sees only one image. The stereograms on this page are autostereograms, which means that they are contained in a single image and do not require a stereoscope to view. What are autostereograms and stereograms? After a few seconds open the eye which was closed and a blurry 3D image might appear. Try not to concentrate on the stereogram and relax your focus so that the picture appears blurry. Input the variables to create your stereogram, such as text, clipart, and pattern.Ĭlose one eye and look at the stereogram with only one eye open at a reading distance.Make a Stereogram is a simple game where you can make your own stereogram-just like it says in the title. Uploading an image and converting it to 3D.
