Prepare To Stare: The First Random Dot Autostereogram Video

Young Rival - Black Is Good (Magic Eye Video) [Official]

Remember that "Magic Eye" visual craze where you had to stare at a picture of seemingly nothing but fuzz and defocus your eyes to reveal a hidden image? Usually of dinosaurs or something equally interesting.

The fancy name for that is "a random dot autostereogram" and this music video consists of solely that, created via the DIY 3D capabilities of the XBox Kinect and the RGBD-Toolkit.

It might take lots of practice to see the pretty pictures — try following some of the director's tips and some other versions they output with different features — but remember: You watch at your own risk. So, don't blame me if you get a headache straining to see this awesomeness.
