Next NASA will put up an ink blot, telling the white observers they’re racist if they can’t decipher it...

Could make those things work years ago, lost the knack.

Amazing how that works. The teapot is of THE SAME PATTERN as the background and that makes it harder to see, but it can be seen.
Note to self: YOU NEED NEW GLASSES. Eyestrain city……..😖

I could never see the hidden image in those things. I get how it can “lift out” when it all comes together. But however long or how I stare at it, I can’t see it.

Thanks

I used my computer and followed your lead. Awesome effect and worth the few minutes it took. Thanks.

Once or twice, years ago, I was able to focus "beyond" these pictures and see the thing described. But that was before my old eyes stopped being able to focus properly.

These days, the only way I can see something 3D is to cross my eyes a little bit and focus "before" the picture (like this one). I get the 3D image, but it's inverted, in other words this teapot appears as a hollow space in the shape of a teapot, carved deep into a background of colors.

It's even weirder that way than the "right" way.

It’s amazing how that information is buried in all that seeming noise, huh?

A little teapot... cute.

It’s easier to see if you start at the bottom of the screen too - - with the same focus plan you’re using.
