Since we're doing magic eyes now...

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
These are all backwards. The eyes are reversed so everything that's supposed to be a hole looks like a bump and vice-versa.
EDIT : TIL about cross v wall eyed. I dont understand why they would do it this way though ? The image is much less stable, and moving it at all completely breaks the effect. Wall-eyed really allows you to move and observe details without breaking.
You're doing "wall eyed" viewing. These are for "cross-eyed" viewing. "Wall-eyed" means your eyes are focusing at a point behind the image. You need to cross your eyes for these. Try putting your finger in between your screen and your eyes, varying the distance until the dots merge. Then, remove your finger, focusing on the image itself. That should allow for cross-eyed viewing.
Focusing at a point behind the image is exactly what we've always done for every other magic eye poster because it only requires relaxing your eyes (staring off into the distance) for the image to pop into focus. Cross eyed viewing is damn near impossible on any screen at less than an arm's length away without significant eye strain or external devices (like the stereoscopic viewers that photogrammetrists would use to view these kinds of images without inducing a migraine) and since the dot is on top holding a finger up as a guide ends up obstructing the entire view unless your arms are growing out of your forehead. The wall eyed view has none of these issues.
I appreciate the post and your effort. But, the images themselves are frustrating and have killed my initial reaction, which was to share them further. Because I'm nearly the only person I know that wouldn't loose interest in the explanation for "correct viewing" half way through. If they were wall eyed stereoscopic images, I could just say "Magic Eye", they'd remember Mallrats, see the schooner, and go "Ooh neat."
LOL. Cross-eyed viewing is extremely easy and is very easy to do on both a laptop or desktop display as well as a phone. It takes no strain nor do I need any "devices."
These images are easy to see and take no effort. It seems like the issue is with you.
