The warning
[edit]What's the source of the comment that looking at these things on a CRT may be harmful? I don't remember seeing that elsewhere, and since I'd just looked at the picture on this very page - on a CRT! - I was a little taken aback... Loganberry (Talk) 5 July 2005 23:38 (UTC)
Information under wrong title
[edit]It appears that much of the content of this article is (or refers to) the result of people [conf]using Magic Eye(tm) as a synonym for autostereogram (← nice, big article). Discuss. Frencheigh 10:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
The use of "Magic Eye" in http://www.vision3d.com/VTdocs.html could be taken to mean either, I guess... i dunno, but something that goes into a little more detail about what Magic Eye has done regarding this would be nice. The image Image:041111_magic_eye_1g_a.png doesn't look much like Magic Eye's stuff, it was apparently created by the user. It's hard to believe that the "Magical Eye" maze is affiliated with them, nor http://www.faust.fr.bw.schule.de/mhb/sterenmag.htm. The yahoo group is general, and isn't okay per WP:EL anyhow. So I've removed stuff. (diff) Frencheigh 07:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Also looks like wrong titles are here

Disambuguation page required?
[edit]I think a disambiguation page is required. 'Magic eye' is the term used in British English to describe the tuning indicator for valve (tube) radios, recording level indicators on tape recorders and other uses. For a few examples see Wumpus' Old Radio World. Giles —Preceding comment was added at 15:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Why do some people see images instead of the headaches?
[edit]Shouldn't the article have a section on that? 96.231.17.131 (talk) 20:52, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
These were also featured in the movie Mallrats
[edit]That is all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.87.108.134 (talk) 20:02, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Source and details?
[edit]Quote: "The stereograms were created using a patented process that allows colorful patterns to be used in creating the final images."
Could we please have a source and further details on the process and the claimed patent? 213.152.162.104 (talk) 20:28, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Popular culture
[edit]That section should probably be deleted; but, if kept, there is also an episode of the BBC sci-fi sitcom Hyperdrive where a magic-eye picture is given as an example of how people entertained themselves back in the 1990s. 2A00:23C5:FE0B:700:F0CA:CFF4:4B29:A2D6 (talk) 00:19, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
