  • Thanks, but Mr. Bowen himself put this article on here. -EdGl 23:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I confirm that I adapted this article from my own work under http://archive.museophile.org/3d/ascii-3d.html and with permission from myself! Jonathan Bowen 23:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I added a new example. Because the paragraphs were a bit wide, I put it in <small> tags. -- Rpresser 07:54, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I am stereoblind. Could someone please explain the content of these stereograms? NTK 05:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Figure 1 has the words "near" and "far"; the word "near" appears to be on a closer plane than the word "far".
Figure 2 is more difficult, and takes more time. After a while, though, it appears as if you are standing in a room, with the vertical lines representing a distant far wall, and the dots at the top and bottom merging into a ceiling and floor.
Figure 3 shows the letters "Hi", on a recessed plane. (I.e., the foreground plane has holes in it)
Figure 4 shows a picture frame with the sun, a cloud, the horizon, and flowers on the ground all at different distances.
Figure 5 has the message "John Smith is responsible" floating above the rest of the text.

Can't see the 5th one. Maybe it's because the paragraphs are too wide? And I don't find any difficulties in visualizing the 2nd. --M4gnum0n (talk) 14:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Can you see this one? It is a nonsense block of text, and instead of dual paragraphs it has repeated word strings on each line. Rpresser (talk) 15:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
It says: "stop wasting your time, get a life"
But I still cannot see the dual paragraph one (and my head hurts) :/ --M4gnum0n (talk) 16:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll try retreading it with narrower paragraphs. It can be tricky to make sure that the highlighted words don't hit the ends of lines. Rpresser (talk) 16:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
There, now the paragraphs are no wider than example 4. Only had to change two words. Gotta love par(1). Rpresser (talk) 16:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Now I see it, thanks! --M4gnum0n (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
