I made a smaller version for you below. Let me know if you can do it now. For me, it's easier to do if I keep a bit more distance between the monitor and my eyes.

Thanks guys! :)

This guy is out growing everything in my collection. Last year I read that the Red Dragon is not as vigorous as other cultivars. This is not the case for the plants I have, obviously.

Very nice plant Adam. Thats cool but when I cross my eyes, are the pictures supposed to be blurry? And I suggest people not to cross their eyes too much, might be a bit bad for your eyes.

Well, you're not supposed to cross your eyes too much. That requires that you keep a bit of distance between the monitor and your eyes. Crossing your eyes too hard is not comfortable. I'm sure it's not good for you either. But a little bit is ok as your eyes do that anyway when you look at something close up.

As for it being blurry, yes, it will be initially. The trick is to keep the overlapping images exactly over one another and letting your eyes focus without changing their direction. More scientifically, the muscles that cross and uncross your eyes should not move, while the muscles in your eyes that stretch your lens do the work.

Hope that helps!

You're supposed to just cross your eyes a little bit - until one image is formed by 2 overlapping and there will be 1 image to either side of that. Once you see that, make sure that the middle image stays steady. This will allow your eyes to focus eventually. Once you get the feeling and what to expect from your eyes, you can do this within seconds.

I can sort of see it follow me when I cross my eyes a little bit, but it's not completely overlapped. And still is, so blurry I probably wouldn't know what it was.

You have to hold it in place while it's blurry. Then allow the image to come into focus. Once you do it once, you'll be able to do it all the time.
