There are 2 ways to see stereograms. Just look at the picture at normal "range", lets say about 50cm.
- First method: Keep switching between crossed eyes view / normal sight while focusing on the image as a whole, don't try to see details, focus on is as a square, but keep looking at the "center of the image/square". You have to loose your "normal sight focus", but if you keep switching between crossed eyes and normal view a couple of times, and then "stare" at the picture again without crossed eyes view (don't focus your eyes too hard), you'll suddenly see the 3d depth in the picture.
- Second method (more difficult): just stare at the image as if you were dreaming away, stop focusing on the image, but keep looking at it (as a whole, again no details, but keep looking at the exact center of it). What you need to do is separate both eyes view (aka staring in the distance) till you get both paterns 100% on top of each other. It's a bit hard to explain, but just keep trying, it's the exact reverse method as method one, and also reverses the 3D effect.
