I used to be able to do it, now I can't for some reason.

Oh wait, yes I can.
I see a field of smarties and a chess board!

Did you know, Youtube has an option for you to do this to be able to view videos in 3D.

Takes a bit of time to get your eyes used to it, but once you've 'trained' them you can pretty much instantly get the correct focus.

Stare at the centre of the picture and let your eyes cross slightly then slowly uncross them but staying focussed, when you get it they can be seen virtualy instantly although your eyes do feel a little unnatural while veiwing them.

Like that!  It was a craze, all right.  Brilliant if you can do them, not brilliant if you can't.  My technique is to go cross eyed, and then allow your eyes to relax as they refocus.

Thanks for that - still not working for me - probably permanently crossed-eyed now though!!

Keep trying!  It will work when your left eye settles on a part of the image that is adjacent to the part of the image that your right eye has settled on.  Because both parts are nearly identical, your brain thinks that both eyes are looking at the same thing...which produces the 3D effect.  Same theory as 3D cinema/TV.

I used to be able to do these instantly when I was a kid. Now I can't do them at all. I'm not sure how I'll ever live with losing this skill.

I have spent literally hours looking at them using every technique possible.

My left eye is not perfect vision. But my right eye is OK. I put it down to that.
