I would'a' posted this in Media, Art, and Literature, but I figured that'd be more suited to a topic for sharing them, not my asking questions. Hum.
Anyways, I've recently been looking into stereograms, after StumbleUponning this collection of 'em. Having practiced "manual"(lul, get me the tweezers plz) focusing and orienting of my eyes, I had no problem with them.
What I found, though, is that when I searched for them elsewhere, I had trouble finding these binary, cross-eyed ones; tiled, wall-eyed varieties seem by far the prevalent. Unfortunately for me, I don't understand the workings of the latter; they involve moving the eyes in a completely unnatural manner; and their large numbers of image 'columns' is distracting.
So hey! Anyone wanna explain these more popular ones to me?
Or of course post more. More is always good.

edit: bloody thing, I accidentally hit tab-space before I finished writing and double-checking what I'd wrote. D:
Whatever. I'll risk having a shittily-written post now.

None of the pictures in your first link are opening for me with Firefox.

If you're trying to open them in a tab, that's why.

Nope. It doesn't work either way, tabbed or not, even if I don't have any other tabs.

I can't get it to work. >< The overlapping images come out at weird angles to eachother.
I got the pink shark to work...
I got other things to work, but they are too fuzzy to see anything.

I can overlap the images clearly, and it just looks like another picture from a slightly different angle.

Having no depth perception sucks.

which ones did this? o.O
Practice conscious focusing of your eyes! =D I do it "all the time". When I'm lying in bed, I like to control at what distances things appear blurry to me.

It's the angles I was looking at. If I moved my eyes all around, moved my head around, and adjusted the angle of my computer and screen I fixed it.
There is only ONE distance that things aren't blurry for me (~3.5 inches from the front of my eye.) It is a phyiscal impossability to control that... any object closer is too close to focus on, and object further cannot be seen as I have extremely poor vision.
Though, when I am bored in class I will focus and unfocus what I am looking at with one eye (which makes me wonder how one eye can focus on something.)

And ya, I'd forgotten about your vision problems. D:
