"Help, I can't see !"

This is the 'blind spot' test which isn't technically a test, more of a 'fun for five minutes' little activity

Basically here is the test :


x . . . . . . . . . . . . x


It may seem a little strange but the objective is to put a hand over your left eye and look at the cross on the left with your right eye. Move your head back and forth from the screen and don't blink or remove your hand from your left eye.

As you look for a few seconds you will find the position where your blind spot is, basically, the cross on the right will disappear. Blinking or looking at the cross brings it back

There you go, magic

EDIT : Ignore the dots, just SR doesn't allow large space necessary, for maximum effect draw two crosses a headslength apart

How far do you have to move your head? I've nearly fallen off my chair 3 times, whilst trying it..

got bored because it don't WORK

Managed to get it to work with Timmargh's ascii aided version.

x                              x

I can't get it to work, although I have noticed my blind spot before. Every now and again, I won't be able to see something out of the corner of my eye, I blink and suddenly it's there.

Only ever tends to happen with something very small, such as a word in a book.

It don't work.

But I've done something like this before and it does work...just your version doesn't.

It does, it's just that you have to keep your left eye open when you cover it with your left hand

You also have to stare at the left cross intensley and lean in to the screen

That doesn't work even a little bit.

Can't get that to work at all.

I can't see the right X past the hair over my eye.
