Stereograms::Balloons




Are there 3, 4 or 5 Balloons and Potted Flowers???

3-D stereographic images or stereograms are always fascinating. They allow one to see a 3-dimension object hidden inside what appears at first to be a 2-dimension picture. Stereograms had been created for years before being re-popularized by the creation of random-dot stereograms on computers. Instead of the traditional two photographs of an object or scene taken from a slightly different angle, in random-dot stereograms the image is hidden until the viewer focuses the eyes correctly.
There are many techniques for viewing such pictures, those who are short-sighted may be helped by removing their glasses. You can read about the techniques for viewing them here
Go give the above picture a try. At first there appear to be 4 balloons and 4 potted flowers. Move your eyes closer, a few inches away from the monitor screen and you will most likely, see 3 of each, but as you come away from the screen while staring at the picture, the 3-D images of 5 balloons and 5 potted flowers are seen.
More of such images can be found here, here, here, here, here and here. Have FUN & ENJOY
