51 Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.
.description
An archive of 51 miscellaneous Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.
Have you walked through a mall lately? These days, as you wander past
most of the poster shops, there will be a large group of people
staring at the same poster with surprisingly weird expressions on
their faces. Some will be in the initial stages of denial or
rejection---they will be concentrating, some slowly rocking their
heads backwards and forwards, searching for an image that they have
never seen before. Others will be grinning from ear to ear, pointing
at the poster, chuckling with their friends that a member of their
group hasn't seem them yet. "Come on Bill, come on!", they cry and as
Bill gets increasingly more frustrated he concentrates harder and
harder, until finally (if he's lucky) he sees a true 3D image, without
the need for special glasses or equipment.
These pictures are known as Single Image Random Dot Stereograms
(SIRDS), or Single Image Stereograms (SIS) depending on whether the
picture contains random dots as a base for the 3D effect, or a
repetitive pattern. Unfortunately, each commercial company has
labelled them differently. Shop owners generally don't know what you
mean, unless you say "Hollusion" or one of the many other specific
names.
