"the night" "I'm" "lost" so glad I fell off the wagon right before getting on HN again. Much easier to make my eyeballs move this way.

  There's a bit more: - STARING By staring at the night I'm lost And I wonder where My dreams disappeared - Wayne Myers 30th Dec, 2009

    How are you seeing this?

      You look beyond the writing so that your eyes start to slip out of focus on the text and give a double image. Like how if you look at your computer screen while having a finger in front of your eyes, you'll see a double image of your finger. But in this case you need to manage looking beyond the screen with no true object to focus on. Once you manage that double vision, you adjust your focus until one eye's view shifts to the right far enough that the first column lines up with the second column. You can adjust your distance from the image to help with that. Once they line up, for me it feels like it almost snaps into place - at that point I can look around the 3D image without breaking lock on the lined-up view. You now have three readable columns plus two ghost-like half visible ones on each side, and those particular words stand out as if they're in front of the rest. Ignoring the two 'ghost' columns: 'STARING' is in column 2 'By staring at the night' is in column 1 'I'm lost' is in column 2 'And I wonder where my dreams disappeared' is in column 3 'Wayne Myers 30th Dec, 2009' is in column 2 Obviously, all that text is in all columns. but those are the ones where it's been made to stand out in 3D. It also reads from top to bottom.

        Thanks - took me ages to get this one. Ended up copying it into Notepad and then could see it. It's fun to edit the text while viewing it in 3D - you can cause more of the text to jump out of the page.

        Yeah it seems like a really easy way to make stereoscopes, because you can just adjust the spaces! I kinda want to play around with making one myself. I wasn't sure if you were just having trouble with this one, or if you didn't know about viewing stereoscopes at all.
