- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. General Information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This program will display patterns on the screen, which can be viewed as three
- dimensional objects. One needs some practice to learn it. But most people start
- to see it sooner or later. If you do not succeed, then buy the "Magic Eye"
- book. There are easy pictures contained in it, which will allow beginners to
- learn the technique.
-
- The trick is to look through the screen until you see a pattern behind it. Then
- try to focus your eye. Some people find it useful to look at reflections on the
- screen. Others start with the nose close to the screen and then gradually
- increase the distance. I found that the best way is to stare through the
- screen, until you see the pattern there. Then focus to see the three
- dimenionality.
-
- These pictures are based on repetitions of a pattern from left to right. You
- should look through the screen until two neighboring repetitions become a singe
- pattern.
-
- This is a quick shot program, which uses mathematical functions to create the
- 3D objects. You can choose one of the predefined objects or create your own
- function, if you are able to compile the program. The should have the source
- already. Change the file "ff.cpp" accordingly.
-
- You can print the screen on any printer. The print width can be scaled in the
- "Options" menu. There is a quick printing program for LaserJet printers. The
- corresponding queue must be named "HPLaserJ". This is the default name for
- OS/2.

-
- In this dialog, you can set the eye distance. Experiment with it until you get
- the best result. The eye distance is used to compute the picture and affects
- the depth of the picture.
-
- You can also set the print size (and thus speed). Normally, the default setting
- works quite good.
