Live Hyper/Hypo Stereo Demonstration...

For computer-net 3D-freaks, here is a LIVE hypo/hyper-stereo 
demonstration that you can do without getting off your seat!

- HYPO:  Stare at your keyboard and diverge your vision until two 
neighboring keys fuse to one.  Focus, relax and enjoy.  If you ignore 
the non-matching key labels, you are freeviewing a hypostereo view of 
the keyboard.  It looks *big* and impressive.  Now freeview two keys 
further away.  More hypostereo!  Continue until there is no deviation 
(depth) seen.

- HYPER: Cross your eyes to view two keys.  This is hyperstereo.  It 
looks like a *small* keyboard with lots of depth.  Crossview further.  
More hyperstereo.  

Try it... It works!

Many regards,

Dr. George A. Themelis-Helmholtz, who's treatise in psyco-neurotic 
stereo-optics has not been published yet!!!


PS. Many thanks to John O'Merrit Orsomething who's comments on cross 
viewing columns of buildings in flat pictures for hyperstereo effect 
inspired the aforementioned research!  Sorry for the spelling mistakes 
and lack of better references!
