The eye-crossing trick has to do with the regular pattern of keys on the keyboard.  By de-focusing and crossing eyes while looking at a repeated pattern (such as a keyboard), the eyes can be fooled into forming a false focus where the right and left eyes are looking at different keys, yet the brain interprets the image as if it is a stereoscopic view of the same key.  Consequently, the brain's distance estimation is miscomputed and thus the keyboard appears to be vivdly focused and floating in the air above where it really is.

I tried this trick with my new Netbook. The effect is actually pretty impressive (especially with the € on-key). [[Special:Contributions/67.188.195.182|67.188.195.182]] 22:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
