Reminds me of a similar anecdote from Holly Elmore in 2021 [1].

I _wish_ I could do this at will. Probably once a month or so I notice that I have 3D vision and become entranced with just looking at things around me. Usually the feeling subsides within an hour, but it's rarely a "pop out" and more a gradual decline in how 3D things are.
