I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The Snowden Principle

  • erzatsen

    the cross-your-eyes-ery is exactly what reveals that this is not a stereogram.
    i wish it was, because this would be a good model for it.

    i poked around a bit at that flash site, but i wasn’t able to find this image, or any others like it. (and jamie doesn’t bother to include a useful link, either)

      Dude,

      It’s a stereogram. I can see it.

      • erzatsen

        well, ok, yes, the images lock-up with an eye cross.
        but they are just the same image.
        are you seeing those left arms out in front of the dress?
        are you seeing the background seem behind?

        here is an example of a cross-your-eyes stereogram with depth

          It definitely appears 3D to me. It’s not a particularly dramatic effect, probably because the image is so monochromatic, but moving my head side to side confirms it.

  • christalm

    erszaten and I are right. No parallax, no stereogram. As if you held your finger over a distant object and quickly switched your view from one eye to the other, there should be a shift of what your finger covers in the background. Now, in the two photos, look at the tip of the smallest finger closest to you and the fold of the dress just behind it. It touches the exact same pixel of that dress detail in both photos. No shift, no parallax, no stereogram.

    Personally, I think all taxidermy is weird.

    er … that’s a swell Flash(tm) interface, but what do i need to click on to see the images?

  • mo-seph

    Stereoscopic!

  • Anonymous

    @3 You’re right that puting the same image side by side does not make it stereoscopic, but I don’t think these are the same image. Cross your eyes and watch the image “pop” out at you.

  • christalm

    Putting the same photo beside itself does not make a stereo pair. I could make similar statments about “wierd” and “taxidermy” not making worthwhile art.

    yeah! ..mo-seph. i wish more artists would post stereograms (for those of us with the knack born of years of molecular modeling)
