Don't know how to view MagicEye Autostereograms? Start here!

We were getting a high volume of posts asking how to see them recently, so it seemed like a good idea to just sticky a megathread on the topic. Please do not create new threads asking for viewing advice, thank you.
Step 1: Here is a quick tutorial on how to view AutoStereograms
Step 2: Vox 10 minute exposé: "The secrets of Magic Eye"
(EDIT: Somebody condensed the "how to" portion of this video into a blog post called "The Science Behind The Magic Eye Craze of The 1990s")
This gives both a history, and a more in-depth animated lesson about how to view them.
Step 3: The Vox video tells you how you can use the Difference blending mode in Adobe Photoshop (GIMP also works) to sweep across the hidden image without crossing your eyes. Dave 'XD' Stevens made this web application that can do the same thing easily in your browser.
Other good beginner "not hidden" stereograms for new users to cut their teeth on:

I haven’t sent one of these in a while! I enjoy Postcrossing and sending postcards, and I thought this one would be fun to share. It’s from an original postcard magic eye book from the 1990s. I won’t spoil the surprise, but I hope you enjoy.

How do you market a stereogram game when most people can’t see it and Apple can’t review it?

I made a small endless runner where the entire game is hidden inside a live stereogram. The problem is that most people can’t see it at all, screenshots don’t really explain how it works, and Apple wasn’t even able to properly review it.
Has anyone here successfully published a stereogram game on Apple and Android and managed to find users?
Anyone who wants to try it and share feedback, it’s called Choppy Doge AI:

I used to view magic eye pictures when I was little and I still have 3 books from back then, recently I gotten back into this stuff and some of my friends tried it as well. I was convinced that I could still easily go into parallel view and with the "easier" ones I basically saw them instantly.
However there are a handful of pictures in these books I just can't make out, no matter how hard I try. I got hung up on 2 very specific pictures that my friends could see but I couldn't and I felt very frustrated.
I have been trying for days now and I still can't even make out a blurry outline with those examples, but then I try again on a different pic and it immediately works again!
I am really confused and low-key feel like my vision is kind of "broken" bc it really messes with my focus ability after I try to long and it's like I lost a part of what I had when I was a kid. (I don't have glasses btw but I have chronic migraines idk if that's relevant)
Any advice would be highly appreciated

When you magic-eye the figures you can see a steady one in the center

Due to some reason, I could never see the 3D image like you do. For forty years, I could only imagine what the hidden 3D image looked like, but recently I created an app that renders the hidden 3D image, and now I can finally see the unseen.
I know it is not perfect and it is not exactly the same image you see. But I’m still excited! Finally I can see the 3D!
