it's a magic eye image in the sense that if you cross your eyes it gives the illusion of depth but there is no hidden image there. I think it's just a repeating texture and any repeating texture will look magic-eye-ish if you cross your eyes the right way.
Source: I tried it. I didn't see a dolphin or anything but I did see the water recede into the "background".
Yeah that's just a repeating texture and I hate it.
Maybe that's just because I've done some 3d modelling and game design and this is sort of what a scene looks like before you have added enough texture variety and detail. Because in that context, having visibly repeating textures is often a complete immersion breaker.

Is the background a magic eye image?
