Eli5 How do hidden object optical illusion pictures work?

1.08K views

My mom has a picture in her room with a crazy optical illusion design. Everybody says they see a picture of Jesus on the cross but I’ve never seen it in 25 years. I’ve never been able to see any objects in those hidden object pictures. I think everyone who says they can see those are full of it.

Do this as an exercise:

Hold left index finger up pointing up

Then hold right index finger a couple inches apart point up

Now try to focus behind the finger and the image will start to overlap. You’ll have images of either hand transparent but the middle should have a solid “floating finger”

Do the same for Magic Eye images. There is a schooner, I promise.
