Amazing Quake II mod:
You finally saw the yacht in the seemingly random bunch of dots! You can see the dinosaurs and dolphins in the Magic-Eye books! Now use your skills to free yourself from your evil extra-dimensional zombie oppressors! Welcome to Quake II as it was never meant to be.I was never very good at seeing those magic-eye things, but it always surprised me how cool it was when I did get it.

Not sure this has any practical applications (I guess it depends on how hard it is to see and whether it gives you a massive head ache and makes you cross eyed or something like that,) but I'd love to try it out. Windows only unfortunately.
Quake II AbSIRD is a modification of the Quake II graphics engine to produce SIRDS instead of standard 3D images.
