If so, look at this:



Mr Angry is on the left and Mrs Calm is on the right. Now take them off and the faces should switch.

If you're unlucky enough to be w/o glasses you have to move away from the computer screen until the faces switch.

yeah, I have glasses also, but the correction is so weak, it made no difference in the picture. Had to back up about 10 ft before they switched.

I took my glasses off and had to back up to see the switch. How did they make the pictures switch like that?

It's simply a matter of focus...what's in focus in one picture becomes out of focus as YOUR focus changes...it's very well balanced. If you have a focusable lens handy (camera, binoculars, etc.), look at the picture through it, and then change the focus -- you'll see the "switch" as it occurs.

Still pretty cool, though. :)

Funny reading all the posters that needed to back up to see the switch. I actually had to move closer to the screen to see the switch. At normal viewing distance, the faces were just blobs.
