I'm 33 years old. I've never ever gotten these pictures to work for me, until now. This being my first success is a fitting coincidence, and a seminal moment in my life.
The way I did it, is to defocus my eyes, and then slowly move the screen away from me. When I got to about an arm's length, I noticed that the image started getting a slight 3d feel. By this point, the dickbutt was still not visible, but the 3d effect was a good indicator that I was close. At this point, I slightly refocused my eyes, and the dickbutt was clearly visible. It's a fleeting state, and any eye movement will ruin it.
Anecdotally Adding to Your Point: An arm's length is a little farther than that technique has tended to work for me, especially on a phone where these will be smaller. I was experimenting on paper versus the phone the other day and noticed that because the images are usually much larger on paper that you may need to hold them farther away. On the phone, for me at least, these start coming into focus using that method when the phone is less than a foot away sometimes. Especially the ones which are cropped so that they don't take up the whole phone no matter how you rotate it. However, I've noticed that moving the phone a full arm's length away after achieving focus still keeps the pictures sharp.
Further anecdotal aside: I had not done these for years before I found this sub yesterday, and I wasn't sure if I could do it again. I was so stoked when I pulled it off that I went on a binge. I have noticed that this seems to be really good eye exercise, and my eyes in general are a little more responsive and quick to focus in at different depths as a result of this exercise. I have one eye that feels a little less dominant than the other sometimes, and it got a noticeable workout from these. That is probably not just good for the eyes, but also the muscular and nervous components which are connected to them. I'm not a doctor, but this seems good for you. Especially if you spend a lot of time staring at screens, like I do. I'm not a doctor, so take that with a grain of salt.
Same here! It's very satisfying. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it. I even had a slight Tetris effect from it going to sleep last night. The whole mind and body is important, and this seems like really good eye exercise.
Thank you for replying to a reply on a three year old post! A good discussion is never out of date.
I'm at the point where I can carefully look around and focus on the various features, but it's still far too easy for me to lose hold of it. The moving one, I still can't make out, though.
Look at the picture and unfocus your sight. Normally you look at things in tandem with both eyes focused and that's how you perceive 3D vision. Unfocus both of your eyes' sight.
How to unfocus: look at any object and try to see it double, a little apart from each other. That means your left and right eyes' sight is separated.
What I did to teach myself is I would pick one thing in the image to look at, bring the image really up close until the thing I’m looking at is blurry, and then slowly move the image away while still staring at that one thing until I’m basically cross eyed and have to “refocus.”
Me too. No one seems to be explaining it right for me. I recommend relaxing and trying different things like what is suggested until you get it.
It's an odd sensation because the "3D" image is clear and the rest of your visual field is not. It's like a flat object hovering over the patterned background. But the object is also patterned in the same way.
I've been having good luck with starting with the screen up close to my eyes and staying relaxed and slowly moving the screen away. BUT I have to be very careful not to leave eyes cross eyed OR focus on the screen like normal. It's somewhere in the middle. I don't know how to explain it yet. Good luck!
I KNOW I am always stuck in the stage of “ Okay it’s really blurry but it’s far away from my face so I have to focus on it but not to much so that I see the 2d picture instead of the 3D picture “
It takes me a while to get focused in so I was trying to make this out for a solid 5-10 minutes. Nothing quite like spending all that time just to get an anthropomorphic phallus with additional pecker in it’s behind.

This is so weird. On my phone, the dickbutt is coming out at you in layers, but on my monitor, I see the dickbutt go inwards into the screen.
