The blue noise example is crazy. It's always been trivial to me to cross-eye into MagicEyes, I can even comfortably scroll the page and never lose the 3D. I had no idea there were (if I understood correctly) adversarial background patterns.

Interestingly, perhaps, I found that one to be easier to make out the fine detail than any other magic eye that I've seen before. However I did find it a bit more eyestrain inducing as well. This is a great blog and makes me want to experiment more.

You mean that you do see the 3d effect in the blue noise image???

Hmm... I do see it, but when I left my comment last night it would seem I had been looking at the grayscale version of the color noise image by mistake. I can still make it out in the blue noise image but it's quite a bit more eyestrain-inducing.

The grayscale version is indeed the clearest, for the blue noise instead I suspect that it's impossible to see the 3d effect, maybe because the pattern is too dense and regular

That's why I'm surprised if you do see it

Not GP, but I can see. Not comfortably though and my eyes want to refocus so I have to expend conscious effort to keep looking at it - unlike most other stereograms where once locked in the effect remains almost effortlessly.
