When I was little I was doing this on carpet patterns because they suddenly become 3D. It was very fun. But I never realized it could be used for this purpose.
There is also one other similar funny ability I have: Vibrating my eyes. I can willingly vibrate my eyes. I don't think it's any useful ability as I just see shaky when I do it but it's fun to do in front of people. It scares some of them. There is actually a community about it in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eyeshakers/
