-Stereograms can significantly enhance the interpretability of 3D data by leveraging human binocular vision. Instead of trying to picture how a flat projection of 3D data on a page would look in real life, stereograms give us "3D glasses" for 2D data just by changing the focus of our eyes.

-It takes some practice to be able to view the stereoscopic effect for the first time, but the effort is well worth it.

 ## Viewing Stereograms
 
-These are not [*auto*stereograms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram), like the "Magic Eye" books that were popular in the 1990's. However, they use the same viewing technique. Below is ChatGPT's how-to guide, but I'll try to find a better beginner-friendly resource.

Below is ChatGPT's how-to guide on viewing these, but I'll try to find a better beginner-friendly resource to put here.
 
 1) **Position the Stereogram**: Place it at arm's length and ensure it's level with your eyes.
 2) **Relax Your Focus**: Look through the image, as if focusing on something distant, rather than the stereogram itself.
