3D Mandala autostereogram
Instructions: Focus on the image, centring your attention on the space between the middle two orange stars in the third row down. Let your gaze relax as if you were looking at a distant object beyond the screen. Allow the “double vision” to shift about until it the “second” images of the stars land upon the “first” ones. You should then see five mandalas in each row. Relax into the view, keeping the screen in focus but the gaze beyond it, and enjoy the illusion of depth…
