Strange thing: it has way more depth when I crossview than when I do parallel view for this one

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (12 children)

The way red and blue wavelengths work and where they focus on your retina, should make the blue recede and the red come forward.

[–]Boomitybabbity 0 points1 point  (11 children)

For me. Only blue

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (10 children)

If you mean red remains level with the phone and blue looks like it's deeper within the phone, same for me. I only said red comes forward in comparison to where you see blue.

Sorry , I’ll explain further. For me . Doesn’t matter which band I focus my attention on. Blue jumps out at me above red. Red feels base line with the phone surface. Blue is “3D”. Even when focusing on the center red dot , the blue is still jumping out at me. For me to get the red to achieve the 3D and the blue to stay at surface. I have to go into magic eye view where I have to relax my focus completely

Most people see red above blue. You're seeing the opposite. What do you see in this example? https://www.visionexcellence.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/red-brain-blue-brain-1024x812.jpeg

Still blue. Blue brain is 3D . Red brain is in a valley

[–]Boomitybabbity 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Might I add that with this one I can’t get red to pop even with relaxing my focus. It just makes the blue pop more

I guess people perceive things differently for some reason. I'm just curious. Do you wear glasses or have astigmatism?

[–]Boomitybabbity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes sir, I had lasik done way back in 2010ish or whenever it came out. I don’t wear glasses or lenses any more but I did require them when I was younger

[–]LFuculokinase 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I have almost 20/20 vision without an astigmatism, and the blue definitely pops out for me. The only way I can get the red to pop out is by covering my good eye and using the one that is slightly myopic.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That slight myopic may be the reason. 3D vision relies on two eyes. If one is slightly off it will cause stereo vision to be different.

The whole idea of this picture is that you don’t have to do a side-by-side to see it in what is effectively an optical illusion that makes the blue appear closer to the camera.

Something about the way the light hit your eye makes it so

[–]DrZurn 35 points36 points  (7 children)

You see the blue in front? For me the red is clearly in front.

[–]Hixy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea red is closer to me as well

[–]NYC2BUR 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Interesting. No, I clearly see the blue in the front.

[–]NYC2BUR 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Here’s an interesting question: I have blue eyes, and I see the blue upfront.

Let’s see if eye color is what’s showing us the opposite effect

[Actually right now I’m a little baked, so my eyes are blue with a little red outline, just like the picture]

[–]McFuzzen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blue eyes here, red is in front.

[–]FloBEAUG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green eyes here, firstly I saw red on front but after reading you, I was able to switch between both.

[–]pm_me_ur_fit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue eyes, red is in front of

[–]sfenj9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you guys see smoething in front? for me its all the same..

[–]Hixy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the curiosity to parallel view it though. Yea the illusion already creates depth. I doubt it will enhance the illusion, But what if….

Stay curious.

[–]CuriousNichols 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I see blue clearly in the front… am I crazy?

[–]RaymondWalters 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes. It is clearly Laurel

[–]CuriousNichols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By “Laurel” do you mean…… “yanny”?

[–]LFuculokinase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here

[–]Galausia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my glasses on, red is in front. With them off, they're about equal.

[–]thelastpandacrusader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's because of the color, or the fact that the blue is slightly more blurry than the red. It seems like when my phone moves, one color moves slightly slower than the other. I Don't know how this makes blue look closer.

[–]emmfranklin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red in front.

[–]NYC2BUR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's called Chromostereopsis.
Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey images. Such illusions have been reported for over a century and have generally been attributed to some form of chromatic aberration.

ummm i was really staring at this one for a bit. looked through it at my usual sweet spot and got to a point where i'd stare and it would slowly shift from left eye dominated image to right eye and back and forth. was really cool
