In stereo-grams the closer things become smaller! (very slightly). But they still seem closer! How do you explain to someone who is blind what it is like to see? Things seem outside of you but they can't be. (maybe that is slightly less pronounced when looking through one eye. I have noticed that things appear slightly less bright, and slightly less detailed) Your picture does express something about the *process* of seeing a 3d image, because the characters begin to overlap. But you have shown them overlapping vertically, whereas actually they would only overlap horizontally. A good way to demonstrate this would be to use an animation. But your picture is excellent, because the very centre shows that clarity which emerges when the 3d information comes together, ie overlapping of identical characters. regards - Michael "Tom Bampton" wrote in message news:apnlnp$9e2$1$8300dec7@news.demon.co.uk... > > "Faux_Pseudo" wrote in message > news:slrnaruiv3.knf.Faux_Pseudo@fugozi.cx1209071-a... > > _.--- Tom Bampton spoke in alt.ascii-art --------._ > I stuck it on the web here ... > > http://www.tinyirc.net/stereograms/attempt1.jpg
