HOW TO VIEW

  • Relax your eyes and allow them to diverge, as if looking through the screen at something much farther away.
  • The two black guide circles at the bottom of the image should become three dots, with the middle one in focus.
  • Then the hidden 3D image should appear.

You combined two things I love: PICO-8 and Stereograms.  Thanks for making this.
