It doesn't work for me, but I know from eye exams that my right eye is already hardly used by my brain (yes it can happen). Anyhooo... Long story short, I won't vote this up or down because of that.

  A truly fair vote, i like that. On another note i got it work, i had to watch the video twice to get the right distance and angle. For those that don't know this is cause by a gap of "sensors" in a part of your retina. Your brain will always try to "fill in the blanks" (It does this is a variety of other applications, from memory recall to hallucinations).

Doesn't work for me either, and all I have is a slight stigmatism, but that's in the right eye, the one that was closed, so I doubt that's the reason.

Did not work for me. The only way his head vanished was because I was so close the the screen that I could not see him. Oh well vote down because of that.

It worked for me! It took a while but in the end I got it. I think I was too close in the beginning. Very cool

Looking at the vote count at the moment 58/46 implies that it works for about 55%

  We did a similar test to this in my Biology class (just 2 dots on paper) when studying vision and I was the only person in a class of 30 who couldn't get it to work. Probably because of my double vision, oh well lol
