FreeRepublic Hologram

I can get 3 dots but I can't keep at that focal when I try to take in the full picture. I can see edges starting to form (no distinct shape).

I've never been able to get these to work (and I can handle old stereoscopes without a viewer).

[weegee]

That's okay, she can't see it either!

Sweet_Sunflower29, try the hologram again. I did some manual cleanup on the eagle's beak and around his eyes and he looks a lot better now. I uploaded the updated image to the same filename, so the image at the top of this page is now the improved version. You should be able to make out the shape more easily.

As pbear8 said earlier, "If you can't see this, you must be a Democrat." LOL.

Good Luck.

It's very important that once you have the three dots, you continue to look at the center dot until it is very sharp and clear and you can see very distinct edges. At that point, you will see that the background appears to be a few inches behind your screen or paper. When you get to that point, just follow the background up to the image.

Some people still have trouble, even after doing that. But, if you take the time to get that center dot clearly in focus, you stand a much better chance of seeing the hologram.

I got the word "REPUBLIC" at the bottom but lost focus when I moved back to "see more".

Tell me I'm not a Rat!!! Give me some hope, doc!

Thanks! This is the first one of these things I've been able to see, ever. I thought I'd give this one a try since I already had a severe headache - the worst outcome would be my inability to see anything.

What a delightful surprise. Hmmmm, wait! I wonder if having a migraine to begin with helps.

[bd476]

Groovy, man. Totally far out. :D

[bd476]

Weegee, not sure if this will help - have you ever stared into space while thinking about someone distant or perhaps a situation in the past, yet while in this staring mode end up staring into the face of someone, not really noticing them and still lost in thought?

That's the kind of focus which seems to help here.

[Lazamataz]

Blood is gushing out of my eyes.

I hope you're happy.

[Rebelbase]

Groovy!

[Snowy]

Maybe I should have inhaled when I was younger. I have been trying for 10 minutes and have never seen a third dot.

[boris]

I see beer.

[Action-America]

One eye should make no difference. Just move your head back and forth real fast ...

... No. Never mind. Didn't work.

But I know something that will work. Drink a couple of six-packs of beer before looking at the hologram. You may still have trouble seeing the hologram, but I can guarantee that you'll see a lot more than two dots.

 

[gcruse]

No, they aren't.

[weegee]

I can attest to that phenomena. Sometimes when I am in a drawing program, filling a large area with a color (or a small region next to a particular shade of another color) it will seem like there is a color shift (there isn't).

[weegee]

Look again. Hold your finger over the squares that are in-between squares A and B.

[gcruse]

Maybe it's the media. On my LCD screen, there is no way they are the same density.

I got the word "REPUBLIC" at the bottom but lost focus when I moved back to "see more".
Tell me I'm not a Rat!!!

You're not a Rat. A Rat wouldn't recognize the word "Republic", even if he saw it.

On the other hand, not being able to see the word "Free" could be a sign of the onset of a serious mental condition, that could lead to your becoming a liberal, at some time in the future. Then again, weegee, it's probably that you just had one too many beers and need to sleep it off.  8^)
