Unreality of it All...

I can't beleive this! At first it looked like a regular users signature, but when I started reading it things started to change in my head. Something kicked in and the text came alive! It seems so...unreal!

If you want to see what I'm talking about then look at the attachment I post here, read it slowly. But without skipping a word/line. You will start to notice that some of the text will come at you while some will move into the backround, it's like 3D...only...I can't explain it!

Just look!!!

ok, now i see where your name comes from:D

(before this, i just thought you were a really big 'Enterprise' fan:p )
 
Yes, I know what you are talking about. I remember reading about the "appearance" of 3D text with coloring. It has something to do with the way the eyes and the brain process the color red. I've also seen this when reading textbooks, the text just appears to hang just a fraction of a centimeter above the page.

When light enters the eye and passes through the lens, it is focused on the retina. The "trick" or "trip" you experience is due the colors not focusing on the retina at the same point. Some colors will be out of focus, so the eyes/brain reshape your lens to compensate for the different focusing requirements of the different colors. Combined with having binocular vision, this scanning gives the sense that the text is 3D. This is similar to how those red and blue 3D glasses work for 3D movies.

This info can be found in any college freshman/sophomore physics text book and on the internet.
