3D stereograms

Hey, you know those pictures that look like a bunch of blurriness, and you're supposed to cross your eyes and find a 3d picture?  Well, I've never been able to do them before, until tonight.  When my 9yo figured out how to do them, I had to as well.

Turns out I was doing it wrong.  I was trying to just find the right focal angle (or whatever), but it turns out you just have to wait for your eyes to settle on it.  Sounds backwards, I know.  It also wasn't what I expected either - I was expecting a full-color image, but all you get is a popping layer (and the color is whatever the picture is).  It's still pretty cool, though.

(I would post a picture, but they're probably all copyright or whatever).
