The fellow in the office next to me has always had trouble with the “Magic Eye” paintings and did with this too. He kept coming over, stare at it for a few moments then walk away frustrated.
Towards the end of the day I was startled by cries of “Holy Crap! Man! Oh, wow!”
He then proceeded to talk to the dragon, “You’re a good little dragon, yes you are…” and then move his head up and down so it appeared to nod. He’s an…interesting…fellow.
I just made one. My depth perception must pretty acute, apparently, as I have to close one eye for it to work for me. Others don’t seem to need to do this. VERY cool, though!
Thanks Eddie!
I’ve been home ill for many days now - so this created a welcome diversion. Made one yesterday. It sits on top of my computer and follows me all around the room when I walk by; spooky
I guess it only works if it’s in colour? I made one printed in greyscale and well, it’s not doing anything… I’ll try it in colour tonight when I get home.
Nope, it should work in greyscale too, mine does. You have to cross your eyes like you do when looking at the Magic Eye paintings. For some folks, including me, it takes some time to get the trick.
First I thought it was a hoax as I folded the head wrong (not inside out), kept staring at it for 15 min and nothing happened. Felt very stupid. Rechecked the video and started to be more and more sure that the head motion was manipulated in some way.
Read the instructions more carefully and got head folded properly.
WHOA! It came alive!
Now he sits on top of my computer and carefully follows all the nice looking girls in the office.
OK, several days ago I printed out the dragon and put the little beast together. Since then, it’s eyes have been following me around my living room, but, so far, it hasn’t said a word or done anything else. I am a little disappointed; I was expecting a whole lot more.
