Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now...

Same - I’m super confused now. I don’t know what I can do anymore. I thought I just crossed my eyes until the images overlap but when I do that I’m seeing a hole too…so I guess not?

That wouldn't be crossing. Crossing is when you focus your eyes in front of the image. Wall-eyed is where you unfocus your eyes behind the image. Trying to look at your nose is crossing. The way you look at most magic eye images is wall-eyed.

No, there absolutely is some kind of error here via the creation.

  I don't think so. When I cross my eyes, it looks correct. Wall-eyed viewing makes it look like a hole. Crossing your eyes makes them go inward. Wall-eyed makes them go parallel. They're created specifically for crossing eyes.

    You are correct. I know that I am crossing my eyes.

    Yeah I found the poster’s advice worked well. I.e. hold your finger between your eyes and the image and start focussing on your finger and them drop it away as the dots approach. It made me realize I wasn’t normally crossing my eyes (for say, magic eye images), I was looking past the image and kind of uncrossing my eyes.
    
    With these ones, they definitely work by crossing your eyes.
