Defocus your eyes like when looking at those Magic Eye 3-D puzzles. You may have to bring your face very close to your monitor, possibly reduce your font size to view it properly. You should see three board setups in this state. Focus on the middle and you should see the boards hovering. Once the images are aligned you can pull back from the monitor slowly to bring things into better focus.
