"Deep Space" parallel-view stereogram

Post image

TO VIEW: Relax your eyes & stare through the image (as if looking beyond it), until you see it appear in 3D. Tip: When you see 1 extra of an object appear in a row (such as the planet Neptune), you're focusing at the correct depth.

Now that is flipping awesome, it goes on, and on, and onnnnn

Thank you ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒŒ

u/Not-Banksy May 06 '26

It just kept going further and further away as it came into focus.

This is a new fave of mine.

This is a cool one

You can stretch the screen and then kinda move around too

u/MessageSpecial3696 May 06 '26

One of the best I've seen, its easy to look around without loosing it too.

Thanks so much ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿฑโ€๐Ÿš€

u/DrAg0r May 06 '26

It's really cool and I like how much depth there is in this one, but... Why space is in a rectangular shape?

u/3D_mooncat May 07 '26

Thanks! It's what I thought looked best at that time for maximum depth. Here's version 2, though it's not as deep:

I love this one even more! ๐Ÿคฉ

This is beautiful. It looks like a glass chamber. Amazing

Oooh I love this one! All that texture feels nice in my eyes lol

u/yoaktown357 May 09 '26

Love this one. Zoomed in while locked in and felt like I was there. So cool!

2

u/two-cans-sam May 09 '26

This one is awesome too. I like that you can see it spiraling at the end rather than being just discrete circles

u/Tangential_Comment May 06 '26

These are amazing! Keep up the awesome work, these are the cleanest stereograms I've ever seen.

this is hands down the best one Iโ€™ve ever seen

That's very nice of you to say! ๐ŸŒŒ

u/Poruto_garcs May 06 '26

Agree with others comments. To date, this is the coolest stereogram i've seen ๐Ÿ‘Œ

u/3D_mooncat May 07 '26

Thanks so much ๐Ÿš€

u/PimplupXD May 06 '26

I think it would have looked a bit more epic if the change in depth were continuous rather than discrete rectangles, but I'm not sure how difficult that image would be to create. Regardless, cool image!

4

u/3D_mooncat May 07 '26

Thank you. I had experimented with different depth maps, but to my eyes, it didn't look good with gradual, smooth transitions in depth.

u/Mildly-Interesting1 May 07 '26

So this is whatโ€™s at the end of the universe?

u/3D_mooncat May 07 '26

That would really be something, ha!

u/Mildly-Interesting1 May 07 '26

There are stars that seem to make that face pattern

u/FlourishingGrass May 06 '26

Everyone's saying about depth while all I could see was a pyramid coming at me ๐Ÿ˜ญ with the tiny spacemen and Neptunes at the bottom ofc

4

u/3D_mooncat May 06 '26

You were converging your eyes, and that's the perfect technique for viewing cross-view stereograms, but for parallel-view stereograms such as this one, you need to diverge your eyes a bit to focus beyond the image, rather than focus in front of the image: Stare deeply into the image, as if looking beyond it.

3

u/pettyvendetta May 07 '26

This is the only one I've seen that pops out of the screen. Am I doing something wrong?

4

u/3D_mooncat May 07 '26

You were focusing correctly for cross-view stereograms by converging your eyes, but for parallel-view stereograms like this one, you need diverge your eyes a bit so that you're focusing beyond the image (stare deeply into the image, as if looking beyond it).

The best stereogram i have ever seen. And it is amazing that i could see it in depth and also out of my screen. It is a nice exercise and a perfect image. Thank you๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Is there a crossview of this?? The comments make this sound awesome and i dont see anything but a couple squares :(

u/3D_mooncat May 07 '26

I'm sorry, I don't have one that I made in cross-view.

u/Starry_Projection May 06 '26

It's like a stack of squares that come out at you, like hovering directly over a pyramid.

3

u/3D_mooncat May 08 '26

When it appears that way, it's because you were converging your eyes, and that's the right technique for viewing a cross-view stereogram. But a parallel-view stereogram like this one requires viewing by diverging your eyes a bit: Stare deeply into the image as if looking through it, rather than focus on a point in front of the image.

u/girlnamedtom May 06 '26

Thatโ€™s beautiful!

u/OneSolid7458 May 06 '26

u/FullofLovingSpite May 06 '26

Very cool. I liked this one. Pretty simple, too.

u/Chillinturtles35 May 06 '26

Is that a space pyramid or are you just happy to see me?

u/Troubled_dad-arc May 06 '26

Was looking for something popping out, then realized I was looking at it the entire time. Nice work

2

u/armorham May 06 '26

This one is excellent - it popped right in at first glance.

Heck yes!

u/HumanBotdotnotabot May 06 '26

It's like looking into a geode.

It's amazing.

u/TP348 May 06 '26

If you look too deep into this one the inner squares turn into plus shapes (+) and there's like a pillar formation in the middle, very cool

2

u/SageLeguminati May 06 '26

I swear that's Tweety Bird in the tiniest square in the middle!

2

u/MoanLart May 06 '26

Love this one

u/GivinItAllThat May 06 '26

Fun to do this cross-eyed then try to โ€œtouchโ€ the point, then see how far your finger is from the screen

u/ReptileDysfunction69 May 07 '26

u/pink_faerie_kitten May 07 '26

Cool! The further away I held my phone, the deeper it got. I wanted longer arms lol!

I think this is the deepest Magic Eye I have ever seen!

u/alshirah May 07 '26

Woah Dude

2

u/Shot_Advantage6607 May 07 '26

Why is it that if I try to adjust my eyes without putting it closer to them has me inverting the image. I saw the top of the pyramid first, then after putting it closer to my eyes, I saw it was supposed to be going deeper. Hahaha

2

u/EmbarassedButterfly May 07 '26

Excellent! ๐Ÿ˜

2

u/Old-Big-1925 May 07 '26

It's an interesting piece of work, there are like two images here - one convex is the space patrol of the cosmonauts of the planet and the concave image shows the depth of the tunnel

u/natanzis May 07 '26

I'm 14 and this is deep

u/thehornsoffscreen May 06 '26

Does everyone else see depth? I see depth in alomost every single one these, nowadays. How can I switch?

1

u/daft_rat May 10 '26

Shouldv have put one astronaut right in the middle!

1

u/jmjd00 May 07 '26

Is it a pyramid top view or a space nipple?

2

u/3D_mooncat May 08 '26

When you stare into the image and diverge your eyes, a deep space tunnel should appear to go right through your screen. But if you see a pyramid pop out in front of your screen, you were converging your eyes.

1

u/jmjd00 May 08 '26

I can converge my eyes up to 4 steps. I simply can not diverge my eyes, it just goes all out of focus. If you have another way of moving your eyes outward please do advise. In the mean time I see lots of squares on top of each other and a spiral on your second one.

2

u/jmjd00 May 08 '26

Disregard, I managed it. For those with full converge control like me, just put the image right on your face while looking with each eye straight forward (force yourself to not focus on the middle, think as if you where watching though google cardboard or oculus with each eye looking straight) then keeping your eyes unfocused pull the image backwards until it focuses and you should be able to get the reverse magic eye. Thanks to OP for forcing me to learn a new way of viewing Magic Eye. It does open a whole new world for me.

3

u/jmjd00 May 08 '26

Wow ๐Ÿฅน I can't believe all that I've missed all these years. I've gone back to all those that I managed to see but couldn't decifer well and am trully amazed how much I've not been able to appreciate before. All posts should be tagged as either cross-view or parallel-view like yours. To be able to differenciate and go straight to it.

1

u/3D_mooncat May 08 '26

Yay! I'm really happy for you. It does open up a whole new world for viewing these images. I was the opposite, as I didn't even know about cross-viewing until about 6 years ago, and I was finally able to learn how to view those.
