Book Reviews of Eye Tricks: You Won't Believe Your Eyes
Book Review: This large coffee table size book offers 200 of the best full-color random dot stereograms I have seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
3D visual illusions, or random dot stereograms as they more appropriately known, have fascinated me for many years, ever since my first encounter with one (black & white) during a PhotoReading workshop in early 1992. I remember very well that I could not see it the first time. I was really frustrated as many of my friends could see it. It eventually took me some months later to get it. The Aha experience was really exhilarating!
Since then, I have collected a lot of random stereograms, in book forms, large & small posters, & post cards. I have the entire collection of the Magic Eye series plus those early series published in Tokyo, Japan. I have them in colours as well as black & white.
I use a lot of them to demonstrate how the brain really works & its innate abilities in perceving the world in my creativity workshops.
Among my many collections, this large coffee table size book offers 200 of the best full-color random dot stereograms I have seen. A user guide appears in the front section & the end section of the book offers the corresponding revelations.
From sci-fi bizarre to serenely beautiful, I can safely say that each of the 200 designs can constitute a stand-alone work of art.
I strongly recommend readers to get one as soon as possible & be prepared to experience both rage & delight as you turn the pages.
For a truly scientific explanation on how the brain perceives random dot stereograms, please read Steven Pinker's wonderful book, 'How the Mind Works' (Chapter 4).
