Stereoscopic
Well, now that they're completely passe', I finally got those white-noise-makes-a-picture-if-you-stare-at-it-long-enough type stereoscopics to work for me... Sorta... I can see them now and they're pretty neat, but I see them in reverse. Like if it's supposed to protrude from the page, it recedes into the page. Not so bad when it comes to letters or shapes but things like cats and people it's a little weird. There was a book of them sitting in the MOC and I had a half hour to kill during a pass. (Okay, I could have been working on another project in the interim but a half hour coding with likely interruptions isn't really generally worth it)
Anyhow, problem 2 with those things is that once I was able to see them, I had difficulty stopping seeing them. I tend to find shapes in irregular patterns anyhow. I often see faces, animals, and machines in the pattern of carpet fuzz or bathroom linoleum. Once I saw the images, I understood how they worked and thought about making a computer program that would generate them but I also started seeing them everywhere. Even text on a screen starts to form patterns that warp in 3D space. I dreamed them last night.
On the plus side, it's given me a new way of experiencing 3D form and I now have a trick for looking at relatively plain objects and pulling them into a new dimension. Probably take some time to be able to draw things in that headspace though.

If you focus in front of one designed for rear focus, it'll appear recessed.
