  Wow, I had the same problem as the one you replied to and I thought you were making a joke I didn’t get but I stand corrected. You were absolutely 100% right.

  Turns out I was focusing at infinity, didn’t even realize it was a different thing than crossing my eyes until I tried to cross my eyes first before focusing on the pictures…

  Very cool, thanks.

  Yeah, I’m also seeing them reversed.

    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.

      So weird. I can do this with my finger in the way but for some reason cannot hold my eyes in that position - as soon as I take the finger away my eyes unfocus. Maybe because it’s do uncomfortable to hold that eye pose?

        Yeah, try the wall-eyed version I posted as a top-level comment

  Wow I had no idea it could be done that way. Just tried doing it and the image is way blurrier when 'inverted'. I am near sighted. Does this mean it applies to illusions too?

  Yup. That was exactly it. I was thinking “I know how to do these” and not even paying attention to the instructions at the bottom.
