Now that you’ve figured it out, behold: Stereograms!
The above satellite images from NASA allow you to SEE the topography in 3D.

Omg I’ve never been able to do a magic eye before, but I think there stereograms just unlocked it for me! I Feel like I get it now, thanks!

Weird question if anyone happens to know: when I look at these combined, it looks like the elevated parts go INTO the image rather than pop out, like it’s 3D but inverse. I have always been able to see Magic Eyes with no difficulty, but I’ve also had some form of exotropia that I can control to trigger the depth. Should I be doing something different with these stereograms?

You’re doing “wall eyed” viewing. These are for “cross-eyed” viewing. “Wall-eyed” means your eyes are focusing at a point behind the image. You need to cross your eyes for these. Try putting your finger in between your screen and your eyes, varying the distance until the dots merge. Then, remove your finger, focusing on the image itself. That should allow for cross-eyed viewing.

…i prefer wall-eyed stereograms because cross-eyed orientation makes the picture look tiny…

Fair. I, too, prefer wall-eyed, but these were prepared by NASA. You could edit the image to swap the two and make them Wall-eyed, though!

These are awesome thanks for sharing. Also, if you can do magic eye and stereograms, try crossing your eyes when playing those “find the differences between these two pictures” games. They are incredibly easy if you cross your eyes.
