3D Tree Stereoscopic Illusion
Stereoscopic optical illusions are created by using two images of the same object giving you an illusion of depth. Each image is taken at a slightly different angle. When the two images are combined either side by side or flipped back and forth you get a 3D perspective of a static object. The same effect is also used with the red/blue 3d glasses where the red and blue image is slightly offsetted to give the same impression. Each eye views a different angle and your brain merges the two to give the image depth. While hiking the other day i came a cross this old moss covered tree and decided to try making one of these illusions for my self. Below you will see both flavors of the Illusion. First click on the image below to open up the full size image, stare into the center of the image and go cross eyed, the two photos will merge into a 3D photo in the center showing the true illusion. Alternatively if you want the lazy version… scroll down to see the animated GIF. 🙂
Click this image then stare into the middle and go cross eyed to see the 3d version in the center.
