alt Hacker News> You shoud see a flat background with one large copy of the letter π floating a little above the background (closer to you).
To me these all look like they're reversed from what this says, like they're further away from me behind the flat part.

You should focus behind it instead of looking cross-eyed.

I believe this depends on if you focus "beyond" or "in front" of the image
I always had this problem back in the day when they were in newspapers etc. I didn't really get what people were seeing, because to me it was all in reverse. I looked at these on smaller screens last night (phone and tablet) and I could see them! But just now I tried on my 27" workstation monitors and I got them reversed!
People have pointed out that these are "straight eye" rather than "cross eye" ones. So my theory is on a big screen these are too wide for my eyes or something. I can always go cross eyed (by looking at my nose), but I probably can't go "wide eyed".
