  Took me a moment to understand that it was a house on its side.

  The dual pictures would be used with an antique stereograph ( similar to a more current Viewmaster toy )

• John Guarino said:

  I've got a slight headache now but I was able to cross my eyes and see a stereogram-like image. Pretty cool when done after pressing L to see the full screen view. That tree trunk really pops.

• Brian Elfers said:

  Cool that this stereogram works on any mobile phone large enough but requires some eye crossing to focus on the center image.

• Brian Elfers said:

  Would love to see more of these stereo cards.
