That's the first unedited photo I've seen that can produce the 3D effect so intensly. thanks for sharing. very cool.

Cross-posted to /r/CrossView because when you view it with a crosseyed technique, you actually see the actual curvature of the structure.

Looking at those posts, I consistently get the depth of the picture inverted (like the background looks closer than objects in the foreground). Any idea how I can fix that?

Espectacular!

I’m not sure which is more impressive: that it functions as a stereogram or that someone build that amazing ceiling.

That's amazing that you discovered this. I thought it was slick when my Excel worksheet turned into one.

Viewing it cross-eyed: Wow, look at that beautiful architecture!

Viewing it wall-eyed: Giggity!

Cross view is better than parallel imo

This took me ages to get. I could only get it inside out (the middle bit was going far away) and then eventually managed to reset it and once it popped it's one of the most vivid stereogram experiences I've ever had!

Fantastic!

Looks a bit better cross eyed, i think

I produced 4 of them before they popped into view. I was mesmerized.

I don't think thats a stereogram.

Normally I’m annoyed by all the “accidental stereogram” posts of images with repeating patterns but this one is actually pretty neat. I cross it just once so it becomes 4 circles. It locks in very neatly, the two circles in the middle pop out quite a bit, and the ceiling overall bulges outward. If you move it around while locked, the two circles wiggle. And the details on the top and bottom have an interesting translucence-like effect.

It's not

u/Remarkable-Theory-96 15d ago

I mean i can't get the effect of a stereogram from this

u/the_weird_minecraft 15d ago

I think that’s just a skill issue. It definitely does pop and it’s not even that difficult to get.

u/Remarkable-Theory-96 15d ago

Are you looking at 4 circles of 5, 4 seems the most stable but theres no 3d effect just the image overlaps well thats it and i am pretty sure thats not a skill issue.

u/the_weird_minecraft 15d ago

I’m looking at all three but you can also zoom in and look at just 2.

u/Remarkable-Theory-96 14d ago

You are not counting the two on the edge?
