But did you know they sold a program to generate your own SIRDS images on a PC? Let's dive into the history of stereograms, how Magic Eye dominated, and how to make your own!

I was born blind in one eye and I’ve never seen a magic eye picture

When I was a kid I was convinced I could get it to work but I never did. I was never going to, I don’t have binocular vision, but I tried

I really sympathized with that one guy in mallrats

I have two eyes and I’ve never gotten one to work.

I have shit depth perception and I'm in the same boat, I never saw one of these as a kid.

If you wear contacts and one gets slighlty blurry it fucks it up as-well.. so fucking annoying.
