About Bharamind

Bharamind is a small site for making optical illusions and magic eye pictures. The name starts from bhram, a Hindi and Sanskrit word for illusion.

What you find here

A magic eye generator, an illusion maker, 7 illusion pages and 12 word pages with ready-made pictures. Each page shows numbers read from its own image.

How the site is built

The pages are static files. The tools run in your browser. There are no accounts and no uploads. Your text and your pictures stay on your device.

The magic eye renderer follows a published algorithm. Source paper. The illusion renderers are written from scratch, so no image is a copy of a famous artwork.

How the site is checked

Before every release, automated tests draw pictures, decode them with a block-matching decoder and compare the result with the hidden shape. A failed test stops the build. A noise image serves as a control, so the decoder cannot pass by guessing. Two people who fuse stereo images with ease also check one sample by eye, and the result goes in a log.

Who runs the site

Built by Bharamind. The site names no individual authors. Read the editorial policy for the rules every page follows.

What the site is not

Entertainment only. This site gives no vision test, no health test and no medical advice. Some people cannot see magic eye pictures. Missing one says nothing about your eyes or your mind.
