heheh, yeah that's how it works. The left image is for your left eye and the right one is for the right eye. Your eyes are actually supposed to not cross but drift apart (like if you were focusing on something further away) so that you get doubble vision. Eventually, the inner versions of each side will overlay each other and your brain will think you are seeing one thing and convert the difference in L/R perspective into depth.

normally: X Y
doubble vision: X X Y Y
converged: X Z Y

The more you look at stuff like this the better you get at it and the less it will give you a headache!

edit: oh yeah... apparently in my old sig I had the L and R flipped. You'll still get some 3d but it will be not as dramatic and some parts will look just plain funky.

maybe I bring a cute girl this time?

She was kinda an airhead. lol She didn't talk about anything except shopping, shoes, clothes, and stuff that was boring me to death. When I was trying to talk to her about art, travelling, cars, or asked things about her to get to know her, she kept going BACK to talking about shoes................

Can't believe I gave up going for a drive for THAT. Lesson learned!

Totally OT........but have you guys seen that commerial for that stupid new Hyundai Accent that you can buy brand new for around $9k AND you get free gas for a year plus that 10 year 100,000 warranty???

I'm thinking about getting that as a beater daily driver car, so I don't put so many miles on my baby. My Benz just turned 10,000 yesterday. (I know I'm ****!) That way I can use that Hyundai POS to drive to work in, and run errands in during the weekdays, and then drive my baby on weekends, or whenever I feel like driving a REAL car.

Yea I believe the drive would have been more fun and about the meet for Saturday I'm all game if I get my car back by then. I'm dropping it off on Thursday morning so I dont know when I will get it back. If I dont get it back then I'll just drive the loaner car.

man, the reason I got my Benz was so that I would have a nice car to drive. If I have to drive some POS that totally defeats the purpose of owning a Benz. I put a LOT of miles on my car- it's currently at 9-k. And it's still running strong!

Good point! Methinks I'm gonna just enjoy my car, and not worry anymore.
I can save that $9k for mods. Mwahahahaha....

Yea it totally defeats the purpose of having a Benz if you go and get a beater Hyundai Accent. Plus look at the build and safety quality in the Hyundai, its practically all fiberglass.
