Random Dot Matrix Generator

Users who require a solution for creating visual illusions from their images might end up using autostereogram generating software. However, most packages that offer such features are quite complex and require good knowledge of depth perception notions. Fortunately, there are more user-friendly solutions out there and one of them is Random Dot Matrix Generator. It will allow people to define custom random dot patterns and generate sterogram images starting out from their initial bitmap images.

Random Dot Matrix Generator offers users a minimalist interface that features a basic layout, where one will be able to load the required images and preview the resulted stereograms. All its menus are accompanied by colorful icons that will increase the overall ease-of-use and handling efficiency.

Complementing the main image viewer is a secondary window that allows people to view the resulted patterns. However, this window only displays a narrow portion of the patterns and some users might require a wider view of the patterns, for a better insight.

Users can easily input their images in the application and after defining the pattern characteristics, generate the sterogram images. Unfortunately, Random Dot Matrix Generator only supports BMP images and users who work with other formats will have to convert their images prior to the random pattern processing.

The application offers a fair amount of customization for the different parameters that characterize the random dot patterns and users can adjust the color, distance between pixels and their corresponding depth. One will be able to also adjust the refresh distance (in pixels) or the dot width / height.

Users who require a no-brainer solution for creating visual illusions starting out from their images, can count on this application. It will provide them with ease-of-use and numerous tools for defining the preferred random pattern characteristics. However, in spite of its user-friendliness, Random Dot Matrix Generator only works with BMP images and users will have to convert their images before opening them for the pattern processing.
