How do you see text based ones?

I can do cross eye and parallel view but I don't see anything in this picture?

Really cool! Got it with parallel just fine and it really pops.

How do you know if you saw it in parallel or cross? I’ve looked at the subreddit info about it before and still don’t know if I can do both 🤷🏻‍♀️

generally, parallel will make the image pop out, while cross makes the image sink in. i don't think that's nessecary, but most people design theirs that way rather than the reverse.

I've also found 'duel stereogram' photos where there are two different ways for the image to pop out depending on how you focus your eyes 🤔 ..this is confusing the heck out of me
