   In 2006, A. Oliva, A. Torrabla and P. G. Schyns presented hybrid images which are obtained by combining the lower-frequencies of one image with higher-frequency of another image in order that interpretations change by viewing distance.  
   In this site we present a hybrid images, which are obtained by combining three images. The hybrid image has three representations depending on viewing distance. In order to get such images, we exploited a new mathematical method.      
   Stop(TO MA RE) is a Japanese word which means "STOP". First, plese see the following image from a greater distance. You can see TO(TO).  
   Next, please move close to the image, then you can see MA(MA). Lastly, please move closer to the image. The Japanese wordRE(RE) will appear.
