Those hidden picture thingy's?

[phoenix-pete]

Hi everyone.
Can anyone help I can't remember what they are called but will try to explain.
I am trying to find some of those hidden picture type things that are made up of lots of dots that if you stare at the picture long enough you can see a pony or dolphin or whatever in the picture,do you know what I mean?
I need to know what they are called so I can find some.

Help please.

Pete.

I believe they work when your eyes go out of focus, which tends to happen when i get tired (writing can look a little fuzzy etc) anyway, so i guess that explains it

Cheers,
Rob.

The proper name is Single Image Random Dot Stereogram. There used to be free software kicking around that could be used to create your own, I expect it's still around somewhere.

The best way to get them to work is to either view them on a monitor and focus on your reflection rather than the image, or to laminate a print out and do the same

If you relax and stare at this pic for long enough you'll see a giraffe.
