A DIFFERENT WAY TO SEE
Find the hidden dimension.
Create optical illusions. Read the ones you can’t quite see.
Slide to bring different depth planes into alignment. Bright areas are matching patterns; this is a focus slice, not the full depth map.
The reader compares repeating patterns as two eyes would, then maps their separation to shades of gray. Use Eye overlap to explore the alignment yourself.
Best with straight, uncropped random-dot or repeating-pattern stereograms. Photos, rotated images, and heavy compression may need adjustment. Edges without a matching pair are left black.
A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE
One image. Two viewpoints.
How do I read a stereogram?
Open or paste a stereogram in the reader. Spacing is detected automatically. If the shape is noisy, adjust Pattern spacing and Depth range. Most Magic Eye images use Parallel; choose Cross-eyed if the image was made that way. Eye overlap lets you move the two virtual viewpoints by hand.
How do I make one?
Choose Create your own, pick a shape or upload a grayscale depth map, then adjust the pattern and depth. The preview updates as you edit. White areas in a depth map come forward. Download the stereogram, or send it to the reader with Read this stereogram.
What happens to my images?
Reading, generation, and image processing happen locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. The optional AI designer sends only the scene prompt to the provider you choose; it requires your own API key.
