Then try to stare through the picture, which will make your eyesight go blurry. Eventually, a blurry hidden 3D picture will start to come into focus. Maintain your gaze and the 3D picture will soon become clearer, sharper and you will be able to look around the 3D picture without it disappearing.Please note that everybody is different and it may take some people a few seconds to see the 3D hidden picture, whilst others may take a few minutes or not at all. If you cannot see any hidden 3D pictures in the stereograms, try altering the distance by slowly moving your head back and forth. TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE TRY THE STEREOGRAM ON THE FRONT COVER.
