crosseye 3d pictures

[ultradr3mer]

here is something I came across lately:

http://www.neilcreek.com/blog/2008/02/28/how-to-see-3d-photos/

mainly those "3D" pictures contain 2 slightly different perspectives.

and when you let your eye and mainly your brain connect them, it takes it like it does in real life.

i think everybody is able to do this, but it may be a bit difficult at the beginning.

now here is why its in this gaming discussion board some crosseye screenshots I made in ep2 and put together with gimp(those may be more difficult because they are bigger):

there is even a g-mod lua script, that adds a post process, creating those two perspectives.

what bothers me is that i personally haven't seen it in other gamas, eventhought its realy interesting.

so..

do you know any games featuring it?

Someone at work showed me this some time ago. I think may be retarded but I couldn't see anything.

All that happened was I ended up feeling sick.

Lol well according to mapcore so far this is broken and only angers everyone because it hurts their eyes and makes them sick...

Ive always been able blend the images properly, but i just cant ever focus them, 3D blurry blobs woooo !

[Hourences]

I cant see anything really. Just two pictures.

dont you combine those and use some glasses or something?

[ultradr3mer]

no the good thing with these pictures is that you dont need glasses or a spechial monitor to see them.

it didnt hurt me from the beginning, maybe you need just some practice to get used to it.

oh and you dont have this blue/red mess killing the colors

It works perfectly for me, but you need to train your eyes a bit to see the 3D effect.

Basically look at the center of the black bar that divides both images, then cross your eyes as if you wanted to look at your nose. You will start by seeing 4 images, then the two images on the middle will slowly start to overlap. You then have to move your eyes closer or further to your nose (or move your head back and forward slowly) until you see just 3 images, you've to keep doing this until the image on the center is perfectly focused and you'll see the 3D effect (is more like an hologram tbh). I noticed that it also helps if you once move your eyes slightly up and down to see the 3D effect, and while trying to focus the middle image choose a landmark, and focus on it, instead of trying to "look" at the entire image.

Basically what you want to do is move your eyes in such a way that the image from the left overlaps the image from the right.

Warning: if you do it for too long you may get nauseas or eye strain.
