Experiments in other dimensions...

This is a wee copy of one of my own blips from a couple of years ago but with an added 3rd dimension It is basically a proof of concept before I try something a bit more trickier tomorrow.

When I say trickier, this was actually surprisingly easy and I more or less nailed it first time which I'd love to say was down to my technical expertise but I more put it down to the wonder that is the human brain and eyes that were able to decode the image even though they weren't particularly well aligned.

If you've never come across this type of picture before, please read on.

Instructions...
Engage LARGE mode after you've read these short announcements...

O Now, whenst LARGE mode has been activated, sit with your face square to image on the screen, tilted screen or face, clouds the effect.

O Get a pencil or pen in one hand a sit about arms length from the screen.

O Hold pencil at the screen at arms length and focus on the tip of the pencil.

O Bring the pencil slowly, closer to your face keeping your focus on the pencil tip. This slowly and slightly crosses your eyes.

O About when the pencil has made 2/3rds to 3/4s of the journey towards your face, you should still be aware of the 2 images and there is also a 3rd image appearing in the centre where you 2 eyes are looking in slightly different directions.

O Hold it around there keeping concentrating on the tip of the pencil. Slowly, the middle image will align itself in your brain and you will eventually be able to focus on the middle image.

O Behold the 3rd dimension.

**Disclaimer
Dinnae look at it crossed eyed too long, it can induce headaches.

Forgot to say, There's a messier light trailed one over here.
