I recently learned that there are two views: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParallelView/ vs https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossView/

And there is definitely a difference between them. If you try to view a cross view image using parallel view, it will look weird and not be easy to focus. Maybe the egg crate image was different?

Here's a quick test: https://i.redd.it/g5ilwgk99r781.jpg

Parallel view is easy for me but it takes a bit of effort for me to see cross view. For cross view, I start by looking cross-eyed at my nose and then try to see the image without fully uncrossing my eyes.

I have the opposite experience. Cross view is easy for me but focusing parallel view is very difficult to impossible.

When I try to relax my eyes to look past the screen to start the parallel view (I think that's how it is done?) the image is too blurry to resolve. When I let my eyes adjust that, they fall apart to the separate images.

Thanks for the link, I saw the Tokyo parallel view beautiful crispy for the first time, now I can't do it again, I guess my eyes became tired and need some time

I think the egg crate was harder because there were no sharp edges to latch onto.
