Did you know that you can view images/videos in 3D on a screen without 3D glasses? If you grew up on the "Magic Eye" books as a kid like I did, then you've already trained your eyes to be able to spot these hidden images. If not, it may take you a minute to figure it out. Make it full screen, soften your gaze, cross your vision, and move your head closer and further from the screen until you get it. These are called "Stereograms." Here are a couple different kinds to practice with. For the type where you're given two distinct images, what you're trying to do is cross them together with your eyes, which creates a new THIRD one in the middle that "pops" in 3D. (For the textured images, you do the exact same thing with your eyes). Let me know what you see in images 3 & 4! 👇 image

Cool I remember enjoying those magic eye 3d books, never thought of animated versions, surprisingly still been able to see the figures. Moving the phone back and forth helps too. Image 3 has a box with two sticks/(coins?) jumping out of it, and 4 is a starfish!
