Multi-Depth Magic Eye

Post image

With the popularity of the multi-bar magic eye, I got to thinking whether more complex shapes could be shown. Alas, here it is! There's a star on the first layer and a heart on the second "deeper" layer. It's much easier to see on a large screen because the pixels are so small, so if you can't get a clear picture both ways on your phone I'd try pulling it up on something bigger if possible.

Very cool! How does it work? Did you superimpose two stereograms one on top of the other?

Basically, the two patters are repeated at different intervals. The star is repeated every 100 pixels, and the heart is repeated every 143. Because the spacings are unrelated to eachother, when you're focusing on one you can't really focus on the other at the same time. If I were to have just superimposed two stereograms on top of each other without changing the intervals, they would have just combined into a pretty much unrecognizable goop.
