A random curve belonging to a surface can be used to portray that surface. The surface cannot be identified monocularly from projections of the random curve, but is easily reconstructed under stereoscopic viewing of two appropriate projections. Examples of this flexible alternative to Julesz's random-dot stereograms are presented.
