Optical Illusion

[Jondot]

That's freaky!

I can't watch the video now, but is it the 3D dragon? I have one on my desk at work.

It's a dragon that follows you with his eyes and his head.

 

[livemusic]

Yup, that's the one. Pretty cool to play with when you have nothing to do at work.

 

[Jondot]

Where did you print it from?

 

[DQuaN]

I think you have to buy it.

 

[gt_masta]

There

 

[Zardoz]

Really amazing.

(And if you haven't seen it, it isn't "old", is it?)

 

[DQuaN]

I just printed it and made it.

OH MY GOD!!!

This thing is awesome!

 

[ND4SPD]

I don't know how to fold the damn thing can anyone help?!

 

[gt_masta]

Follow the instructions on the .PDF file. It should not be too hard. Where are you having trouble exactly?

 

[Carl.]

Does it work in black and white?

 

[ND4SPD]

When it comes to the head, I don't really know how it folds. The instructions on the page confuse me

 

[911_gt3_rs]

I've just went through the whole thread - now my eyes feel funny

Some great stuff in here, but i think i'mwth famine when it comes tothose steroegram things. CONSPIRITORS!!!

Those instructions certainly don't look easy.

 

[Raghavan]

That looks waay too complicated for me.

 

[benzoboy]

Check this one out.

You faker! That's a gif.!

 

[Carl.]

Well, if you prefer a jpg...

 

[MugenVTEC]

dam the image is moving. Nice one dude

 

[DQuaN]

I've been showing the dragon to people at work, and they are baffled by it. Why can no one see what I see. Which is what everyone sees in the video.

 

[livemusic]

Because they don't know how to look at it. Most people here at work couldn't see it too. Show them the video, it might help.

 

[DQuaN]

That's what i might do.

 

[Famine]

?

I've got my model. It does squat. I've watched the video. It's cool. I look at my model... It does squat still.

The hell?

 

[livemusic]

Hmm, try looking at it with just one eye open. But you can't see the 3D images in this thread too, so the problem might be you.

 

[DQuaN]

Can you take a pic of your model? Mine works perfectly. And because i'm running out of ink on my computer, IT'S PINK!!!

 

[G.T]

Wow, I've just watched the video. That dragon is great!

 

[Famine]

Hmm, try looking at it with just one eye open. But you can't see the 3D images in this thread too, so the problem might be you.

That's because there aren't any. Magic Eye pictures are fake.

DrunQuaN - No. My camera isn't here. I'll snap one when I get home.

Mind you, the model on the PDF is different to the one in the video.

 

[DQuaN]

I built it wrong on my first try. This is where I went wrong. You need to fold the face towards you, not away. So it's upside down.

So the image is inside the folded head, not outside. If you look at the model from directly above, all you should see is a white head. The detail should be underneath on the inside.

 

[DQuaN]

Mind you, the model on the PDF is different to the one in the video.

Nope. It's exactly the same.

 

[James2097]

My dragon is trippy! Works great! Magic Eye pictures are certainly not fake, Famine would understand exactly how they work too I'm sure... he's just pissed his eyes don't do it for him.

 

[James2097]

*bump*

Found another cool one today:

On the left is Mr. Angry, and on the right is Mrs. Calm. Get up from your seat, and stand back about 10–15 feet (4 meters), and see Mr. Angry and Mrs. Calm switch sides.

How does this one work?! Its not a magic eye, its not a trippy 'moving' image which I also understand... you don't have to make your eyes do anything special...

 

[Famine]

Nope. It's exactly the same.

Apart from the fact that one is blue and the other is green?
