  • Since we're doing magic eyes now...

  • Hmm, I mean, it works fine for me, but I've been viewing stereo images for 15 years, both wall- and cross-eyed, so YMMV. I'll see if I can quickly edit together some wall-eyed versions of the images for y'all.

  • Amazing! Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Hmm, you are correct with the identifications, but the order I see in voyager is the one I've posted:

    The only ones where I think we differ are 2 & 3. I'm pretty sure that the top one in my screenshot is wheeler ridge.

  • You are correct, they are slightly different, but are based on the same effect of stereo imaging.

  • Good point! I'd love to see a by-genus breakdown of average metabolic rate vs body mass.

  • If you want wall-eyed viewing, you can just download the image and mirror flip swap it in an image editor. I also personally prefer wall-eyed viewing.

    This is exactly how JPL posted them, and they did cross-eyed viewing because the image jumps out of the page, rather than in (I presume).

  • Oh, also, I really miss the old JMOL molecular models that you could view in cross- or wall-eyed stereo. Anyone know what software is required to make those?

  • Oh, that is SO COOL! Do you have any more anatomical pictures in stereo?

  • Ah, thanks for the edit. I still think that these have greater value from a scientific perspective, but I do also have a collection of many stereo images that I could post here for you! They're MUCH older, though:

    Sorry for the poor quality here! It's difficult to take nice scans of these since they're curved with age. OH, also, these are wall-eyed, not cross-eyed.

  • I agree with the general sentiment, though I believe that the value of these images from the perspective of scientific appreciation outweighs traditional Magic Eye images. I remember, ten years later on, how my professor for the geology intro course let us see images taken over Germany by British intelligence, and you could literally see how they used the stereography to find missiles, because you'd be looking at a bunch of flat terrain and then bam, there's a weird thing poking up out of the ground near that farmhouse. Then, she showed us some of these, and showed us how you could compare the topography in these to those on the topo maps. From a "wow" factor, not everything is going to be as flashy as a Royal Institution Christmas lecture, but this is what science looks like.

    ETA: Wait, what do you mean "out-of-focus"?

  • It would be MUCH more than 2x resource consumption, because every action that animal takes requires greater energy to move it around. The energy required to sustain larger lifeforms is significantly greater than the proportion of their mass.
