You need to have 2 eyes in reasonable good nick to begin with. You then need
to focus your eyes to a point beyond the picture. If you stare at the
picture eventually maybe some characters will begin to overlap, sort of like
seeing in double. Trouble is, to begin with they are probably the wrong
characters. So the result is a blur. But that's cool. It's a start.

If you can get identical adjacent characters to overlap throughout the whole
picture - then you will also be seeing the depth. Somehow the brain find
comfort in this more organised state. It also helps to relax the eyes and
allow them to scan randomly about the picture.

Well that's my non-scientific way of understanding it ;-)
