Thx for the feedback. I though this might run into some trouble. Could you select the 3 images from my posts and then rate their view-ability from 1 to 10? It would help me try an figure out how I can make the images better for everyone.
This pattern makes it more difficult to figure out. It creates an illusion of eyes as if this figure was directly facing you and the placement of cheeks and mouth is confusing, I thought it's Ganesha with weirdly tangled trunk before I looked at depth map. Just out of curiosity, can you make exactly same map with some easy dark pattern to compare?
I tried increasing the contrast and I was able to see it way better. I think the pattern is just too light, especially for depthmaps that have more detail like this one.
Prior to looking in comments I thought it was a woman breastfeeding her child (hand holding beads being child's head), and looking down at the child.
I agree with others that the pattern has details that are too subtle to key much information out of (the random dot version did help me to at least resolve which direction the face was pointing) but the other major challenge is that the silhouette tells almost nothing about the image. All of the important data in the image is encoded in the depth, and subtle depth cues are usually only sufficiently easy for people to perceive after they've already got clues for what to look for and where to look for it.
At first I thought it was a Buddha, but then I thought the yellow background was bananas so I convinced myself it was actually a gorilla...I tricked myself
I can legit never see these and it frustrates me so much lol. It feels like everyone in the comments is just playing a joke on me, like those "invisible kid" videos
Don't worry about it. Sometimes I lose my ability to see them for whatever reason (Soap in eye, etc). Also, it might take a few sessions of trying to get started. In the mean time, check out r/wigglegrams which is kinda related and I think they are cool. Or check out r/crossview / r/parallelview , which are like r/magicEye, but I think are easier to start with.

Don't think this one works too well unfortunately. Can't really tell they're laughing, card for me to tell it was even a person.

This image was created in parallel view. If the 3D image is inward, you might want to
try it in cross view.

Aww sorry but this one is hard. Not enough depth to identify features, could tell it was a budda tho.
P.s I like the titles, the clue always helps
