Stereogram Jigsaw Puzzles If you have never heard of a Stereogram image then you are in for a real treat as long as you can master the true essence of the image. By that I mean, you need to be able to see what’s inside the ‘looking glass’. Follow me with this one because it's worth viewing. I assembled this Stereogram jigsaw puzzle back in the 1990's, likely 30 years ago. I do not have any photos but I do recall the border as being very daunting and I relied fully on the random shapes of the pieces. On the website you can see in the close up photos, the image pattern is completely repetitive and intentionally blurred at the bottom to generate the 3D Sensation. I was captured immediately by the 3D Sensation of the Stereogram jigsaw puzzle when I read it on the box. It is one of the first times I discovered there are sometimes extras added to a basic puzzle image. Now I constantly look for that unique extra within a puzzle. That said and once the puzzle was assembled, I had it mounted to a thin board and using the 'No-Glue' method I have the shrink plastic wrap covered over it.
I still have this puzzle on the wall as Christmas decor so I can enjoy the 3D Sensation of the built-in Stereogram. If you have been lucky enough to experience the visions inside these images you will know how superb they truly are. Some Stereograms are designed for ‘divergent’ viewing, meaning instead of looking directly at an image, you’re supposed to look right through it by “over diverging” your eyes. Other illusions are meant to be viewed cross-eyed. While some people are able to see the 3D image hidden in a stereogram naturally, others will have to train their eyes to see the illusion.
