3D Game ‘Stereogram Tetris’

September 8, 2008 by eyeadventures

We just launched a new game called Stereogram Tetris It’s a 3D game where you can better try to enjoy 3D images and best 3D art. You will learn about 3D art in a very interesting way.To play the game you need to follow under mentioned instructions. Read these instructions or direct jump to play this game Stereogram Tetris

 

How To View This Game

If you are having trouble viewing these pictures you are not alone. All you need is good depth perception. Which means that you can see out of both your eyes and that you have no strong stigmatisms. If you do not have these conditions you can see 3D.

Just remember that this is something you have never done before. The most important thing to know is that you cannot focus on the image itself so that it is very clear. Believe it or not this works when the image itself is out of focus as if you are looking behind the image. That is what makes this a bit of a challenge. So please be patient and give this a try. It might take 2–10 minutes and you may even have to try this several times but once you do it a couple times it is very easy to do. The good news is that you are going to love it. I promise it is worth any effort you put forth.

Technique One:

Look toward the picture but do not focus on anything. Just kind of give it a blank stare, then relax. After a bit you will start to “feel” something happen. The picture will start to change, when it does just keep relaxing and doing the same thing. You eyes will do the rest of the work when you are patient. When the image first comes in it usually is just a piece of it. Continue to do the same relaxed stare and the result will “pop” in.

Technique Two:

Place the picture or computer screen one inch in front of your eyes. The image will be totally blurry. Let your eyes get a little used to it. Then, without changing your focus of your eyes, slowly move away from the image. Then stop at 2 to 3 feet away, the image should be blurry all the way away from the image, if it is just relax and go with the flow. If it is not, then start over. After a couple of tries, it should get easier. Sometimes it just pops in before you even realize it has happened. Keep it up and if it doesn’t work for you try a different technique and maybe come back to this one later.

Technique Three:

This is called the “view through” method. It is done by focusing your eyes through and behind the picture. When you do this, the picture will begin to get blurry, and then your eyes will start to adjust. Like the other techniques, just relax. Once you get better at viewing these pictures, this method will probably be the fastest way to see the pictures inside the book.

If you view the picture like figure 1 you will never see the Eye Adventures 3D image because your eyes are focusing right on the image.

What you need to do is “view through” like in figure 2. It is as though you are looking behind the image. This helps your eyes focus the way they are supposed to and it is the best way to see the 3D.

The artist can design the picture to be viewed through or cross-eyed. All the images in our products are designed to be viewed through. However, when you get good at “view-through” try viewing these pictures with your eyes crossed (This just means that you your eyes focus before the image). It takes a bit of time to learn this too but it provides an inside-out version of the images inside and this can be interesting It can be a little uncomfortable at first because this is not the way the image was designed.

INTRODUCTION TO 3D ART

August 17, 2008 by eyeadventures

Welcome to the world of 3D illusions. These 3D pictures are catching the world by storm. Once you see these incredible images we think you will be as excited as we are about this new computer generated art form.

Roots of this art actually date back to 1838. It began with simple observation and expanded into crude drawings and from there moved into a more advanced form in the late 1950s when professionals were studying how our vision works. Then the technology further expanded in the late 1960s and 1970s. During this time computers began being to be used which made it possible to create clearer, more complex images. In the late 1980s things began to advance rapidly and computer enthusiasts around the world began to share their technology and images (mostly very simple shapes and designs). Up to this point, no one had mastered how to represent animals, scenery, spaceships, etc. But the progress didn’t stop there because the artists continued to share their developments and hard work. Their intentions were to create images that would fascinate any human being.

So, what had begun as an observation 175 years ago dramatically turned into big business when artists began creating the incredibly high quality and detailed 3D images we have today. This technology has rapidly made its way into the mainstream of life all over the world. Almost 30,000,000 books have been sold to date. From all indications this is only the beginning as the rest of the world begins to catch a glimpse of this fantastic new art form.

What other possible uses could arise from this form of art? Well, over the coming months Eye Adventures will be creating or licensing other companies to create posters, T-shirts, calendars, wall paper, post cards, Christmas wrapping paper, greeting cards, and who knows what else (all of which contain great designs in them.) Though this is probably several years into the future, just imagine how great a movie in this kind of 3D would be.

What’s next? We don’t exactly know but we’re sure that once you have learned to see these images, you too will be excited to see any new advance in the industry. Our company has followed the progress of these great images for years and we believe this book is the best way to experience this new computer technology. There are only a handful of one-of-a-kind experiences in life and we are sure that this is something you will enjoy very much.

LAST NOTE BEFORE EXCITEMENT BEGINS

August 17, 2008 by eyeadventures

This completely new art form taps into the natural abilities of our eyes and our minds. You see since we each have two eyes, with each one sending a visual message to our mind, the mind must somehow combine these two images into one or we would have double vision (see two of everything). This is what makes these special images unique. So when you look through the image, one of your eyes gets one half of the puzzle and the other eye gets the other half of the puzzle. Then when they are combined in our minds a magical thing happens.

To our amazement, it ends up feeling something like Xray vision. The 2D just melts away and something wonderful appears as if it is in a little room in a magical space of its own.

Some people see them very fast and others can take quite a while. This has nothing to do with intelligence. It is just a trick that your eyes will help you to figure out once you give it some time and practice. The first time doing anything can be awkward or difficult simply because we don’t have any idea of what to do. In this case, there is nothing else we do that is anything like this. So read the instructions and try each technique. It may take a bit of work on your part but once you do, it gets easier and faster each time until you can see them almost instantly.

One key thing to remember is that if your eyes focus on the image itself it is impossible to see the hidden image. However, if you gaze through and imagine what’s behind the wall of colors you will be rewarded as the 2D image fades away and behind this area an incredible 3D scene magically appears. It is almost as though you can reach in and pull out the tiger, plane, horse, tree, butterfly, alien, soccer player, etc., etc., etc.

The Eye Adventures staff and our contributing artists wish you the best of luck!

HOW TO VIEW 3D IMAGES

August 17, 2008 by eyeadventures

Here are a couple of beginning suggestions to make viewing 3D easier:

a. In general, you want bright lighting when you are learning to view 3D illusions.

b. Some people who wear glasses will find it easier to if they take them off as long as they can move close enough to the image to see it clearly.

c. Look straight forward, don’t tilt your head. The concealed 3D is most apparent with your head level.

The only people that cannot see these images are people who are blind or only can see with one eye. A few people with strong stigmatisms or a very dominant eye (where one eye for whatever reason takes in much more visual information than the other) may also have trouble viewing these images. But for the rest of us with anything approaching normal vision (even if you wear glasses) with a little or lots of practice and patience, the 3D hidden in these images can be seen.

Technique One:
One of the best ways to free view (look at these with no special glasses) these images for a beginner is to try this first technique.

Look for your reflection in the shiny cover of this book. This makes the picture go blurry (out of focus) and you might feel like you are starting to se double. Believe it or not this is good. It has to do this no matter what technique you use. The reflection helps you to focus your eyes on something other than the 2D part of the image. If the 2-D surface of the picture is not blurry (slightly out of focus,) the 3-D image will not appear.

Once you have your attention on the reflection, just relax. Sometimes it takes a few minutes but we assure you it is worth your time. You will start to feel something happen. Just keep looking at the reflection, it will blur and the image will start to move oddly. This means your eyes are figuring out how to do this. Just keep looking at you reflection and soon the image will appear.

Technique Two:
Look toward the picture but do not focus on anything. Just kind of give it a blank stare, with no focusing of your eyes on the image. Just look in the direction of the image, then relax. After a bit you will start to “feel” something happen. The image will start to blur, then change and some double vision should occur. When it does just keep relaxing and continue with the blank stare. You eyes will do the rest of the work when you are patient. When the image first comes in it usually is just a piece of it. Continue to do the same relaxed stare and the result will “pop” in. Then you can begin to look around in the image and see more and more of the 3D.
Technique Three:
Place the image one inch in front of your eyes. The image will be totally blurry. This is good. Let your eyes get a little used to it. Then, without changing your focus of your eyes, slowly move the image away from your eyes. Then stop at arm’s length, the image should be blurry, if it is just relax and go with the flow. If it is not and you see the image very clear, start over because you have now focused your eyes on the 2D and this is what we are trying to train you not to do. If this happens just start over again with it so close to your eyes it is completely blurry, then move it away again and just keep staring blankly in the direction of the image. After lots of tries, it should just “pop” in.
