Cross-Eyed InstructionsCross-Eyed Instructions


Just the opposite of [Parallel] viewing.

          The trick is to let your left eye look at only the right-hand photo, and your right eye only the left.
Illustration      While gazing at a pair of photos, hold up a finger between your eyes and the screen. You’ll notice that while the screen is in focus, your finger seems to double, apparently floating in front of you side by side.
     While you focus on your finger, the screen doubles, overlapping slightly. This gives the illusion of three photos: a richer, brighter one in the middle and one more on either side, each slightly faded. Ignore the outside ones, as they’ll only snap you back to flatness.

          The hard part is to shift your attention from your finger to the center photo without focusing on the screen. It’s tricky because the photo may seem blurry at first, and you’ll be tempted to focus on it. If you do, it’s back to one flat screen and two fingers.

For convenience, the gallery navigation buttons have been designed to merge in sync with the photos. The 3-D effect is working when they appear to form back-to-back arrows. (This feels similar to viewing a random dot stereogram.)
