Yeah they used to be a real art form, eh? Why did the psychedelic posters die out so completely?

Were they the very anoying ones that everyone could see another picture in? If you squinted and looked this way......

No, those were called "magic eye", or something like that.

I could never see anything in those.

Yeah that rings a bell I think you're right.

I wonder if people made it up and they saw nought too 😉

So what is a black light poster?

Never saw the "magic eye" 3-D pictures in the background? Come on, they're easy to pick out, just cross your eyes slightly.

uncross. you need to focus behind the picture. so that when the double images slide across each other so that you see 3 pictures, the middle one is the one with the combined 3d information which your brain can interpret as depth.

here's a rock video filmed with two parallel cameras. all of the footage is not entirely in sync, so you can't see all of it in 3d, but the parts you can look really interesting. especially when the othe camera switches into something completely different while you're 'locked in'. very disorientating feeling to suddenly be immersed in 2 different scenes simultaneously.

it helps if the pictures are less wide than the physical distance between your pupils, as we're not accustomed to actually diverge our eyes over being parallel. the middle image needs to fit between the eye distance for that to hold. so don't blow the video up onto full screen.

I used to stare at my gray speckled carpet while I was tripping. I would see all kinds of stuff, just like tha Magic Eye pics. 😕

I assume it's a posted where you can only see what's on it if you use a black light.

This close?

No, actually he is quite correct. If you slightly cross your eyes, or if you can forward focus out of one eye while distorting the other eye, you will see them pull right out.

No. You could see them just fine in the daylight but they were just colored prints. Under a blacklight they become iridescent. Very cool actually.

I remember those. Psychedelic colors and shapes. Wasn't there an artist named Marx (or Marxx) that did them?

Interesting vides.
Interesting song come to that!!

I had to stop watching at 3.38mins because I feel travell sick now!! I was blowing up balloons though.

It wasn't in sync, as you say. I think that's why I felt travell sick, it's the same thing in a way.
