How much credibility should I give to a report that starts like this? 
"Illusion", "fooling the eye", "stereopticons"?  It bothers me when the
most natural experience of all (stereo imaging) is called "illusion". 
Seeing things in a 2D print is the biggest illusion of all but no one seem
to think this way...
