What is the name given to those pictures or prints that when you look at them in a certain way stand out. I think they might be of Chinese origin?

Are you thinking of Autostereograms? These have an almost regular repeating pattern. When you position your view on a point beyond the page and then refocus, you see a slightly different image with each eye, causing a three-dimensional effect. Nov 25 02, 7:15 PM

Is there any one word for those eye-patches that you might be given if you were travelling first-class in an airplane? (Those that cover both eyes, not the type that pirates are often portrayed wearing.) Are out there some real pictures of blue people (you know.. the disease...)?
