This is about seeing 3D images, if you have ever had a chance to hear about them, but without 3D glasses. There are some available on market. Some are called stereograms, some are hidden images.
The trick is
that you actually converge and diverge your eyes in order to see the image. Easy NVI picture to start learning this is shown here:
When you are converging/diverging eventually should see the third set of circles formed in the middle.
This is happening because your focus is not the same where your mental picture is formed. In case of convergence your focus (eye axes crossing point) is in front of the picture, and opposite, when diverging your focus is behind the picture.
There are techniques to teach you how to converge or diverge. The goal is to do it consciously and effortlessly. The main point here is to not strain. You can mix this say 10 or 50 convergence / divergence movements and then a few minutes of palming, or even you can add sunning.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONVERGENCE
You can learn to converge by starting looking into your finger put on top of your nose. Then slowly move the finger away from the nose, towards the picture. Then sometime the third circle will show up in between these two. And the image will have strong three dimensional feeling. And the smaller one will look like poping out of the picture.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIVERGENCE
You can put your nose almost on the screen, having your eyes looking like in distance far behind the PC, Then slowly move your head away from screen by trying not to change the focus. Slowly will mentally notice the third circle formed in the middle. The small circle will look like deep down in the picture.
In both cases the two SEEING should line up. Practice sliding them left-right. It is all learning how to consciously pull the external eye muscles to form wanted picture.
The final image should look something like this.
Any questions very welcome!
Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. Some questions.
ReplyDelete1 When fusing the 2 images the L and R letters are interfering with the “SEEING” words. How do you handle this ?
2 When diverging the upper SEEING is less clear than bottom one. This is because my left eye is weaker. Any ideas about improving the upper part of the image too and consequently the left eye.
3 I have myopia and I like to do more divergence because it feels more relaxing.
Did you practice equally convergence and divergence from the start till now ?
Best regards !
eltor,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much on your comment.
I'll try to answer your questions as much as possible from my research and experience:
1. I just ignore R and L as that is sign that images from both eyes are simultaneously becoming conscious to brain wich is natural action of the eye;
2. Maybe you can include other exercises like string or close-distant focus, that will make left eye more active. I'll try to put those with more explanation on the blog asap;
3. Yes, I was always trying to do more diverging. Some activity is this: if I am looking into image on computer I would diverge and then zoom image bigger that initiates the divergion to become bigger, eyes are diverging more, and i will zoom in and out. Even after a minute of this look around and you should notice your environment clearer.
Hope this helps!
In good vision and any more questions I am glad to discuss.
Also, please feel free to add your experience here.
