How to see 3D photos
- Sit square in front of your monitor, with the image directly in front of you, at about arm’s length.
- Sitting further back makes it easier - you don’t need to cross your eyes as much - but makes the image look smaller.
- Make sure you keep your head level horizontally, tilting your head will prevent you from merging the images.
- While keeping the stereo pair of images in the center of your vision, slowly cross your eyes.
- The stereo pair will go out of focus and you will seem to see four images, as shown in the animation above.
- If you find it hard to cross your eyes, it can help to hold a pen in front of you and look at the tip with the stereo pair in the background.
- Gradually cross your eyes more and more - if using a pen to assist, start it close to the monitor and move it towards your nose.
- Continue crossing your eyes more, until the center two of the four images overlap and you see three blurry images.
- Try and hold the center image together - it is possible to “lock” it in place and see it as one image.
- The “locked” centre image should appear in 3D!
- Now the tricky part, focus - while holding the 3D image in place, relax your eyes - drop the pen from your field of view if you are using it.
- If you can keep the 3D image locked and relax your eyes, it should eventually pop into focus.
What you are doing here is causing your eyes to look at a space between you and the monitor, but focusing the lenses on the monitor. Our eyes never naturally need to do this, so it can be tricky to do at first.

Here are three examples of Neil's 3D images. Be sure to click the excerpt link above for his complete collection of images and how to make 3D photos. Click on the images below for a larger view.
For the first one, I added a blue teal tint to Creek's image below to give it more of a "Pandorian atmospheric look." Be sure to read the instructions on your left on how to see 3D photos.

Color Prism Avatar Fan Poster
The Color Prism effect is similar to the technique used in Neil Creek's Crazy Cross Eye 3D Images. The poster differs a little from the 3D effect in that it instead forms a full color prism poster. Click on the image pair above for a larger view.

Crazy Cross Eye 3D Photography Images
Excerpt:
Digital-Photography-School.com
August 2008 - Fans of James Cameron are eager to see the world of Pandora that he has created from his imagination. If the landscapes are anything like the description in his old scriptment, they will no doubt amaze the audience.
We are anxious to view these landscapes through the Pace Fusion 3D cinema system and what kind of visual experience it will be. The cross eye 3d photography gives us a little teaser of what it might look like, though there is no similarity in the two formats and how they are processed.
Neil Creek, 3D Photographer, offers up a variety of images that allows you to view them using a cross eye focus trick.
From Neil Creek: A revolution in photography and videography is coming. The 50’s cliche of the 3D movie and nostalgic childhood 3D viewers like the Viewmaster were ideas ahead of their time. Pretty soon 3D will be everywhere. Thousands of US cinemas are being upgraded to show new 3D movies, new computer display technology is bringing 3D without glasses to the desktop, and a growing enthusiastic community is breathing new life into time-honored 3D photography techniques.
If you haven’t experimented with 3D photography yet, now’s the time. Anyone with a camera can take 3D photos, and with a bit of practice, most people can learn to see the 3D effect on their monitors without special glasses. I’ve collected here a few examples of some of the cool stuff that photographers are doing with 3D photography today. The image below is presented in “crossed eye” format, and can be viewed by most people without any equipment or assistance.
