I’ll shill a library I wrote to make wigglegrams & stereograms in matplotlib - I think pseudo-3D visualization is super underrated as a technique to understand data!

Somehow the extra motion seems to reduce the illusion of depth, it just seems like a disjointed animation to me.

Intresting, I have a weak eye so rely less on stereo; these pop as much more 3d then a photo.

If you have an iPhone, it does this automatically (provided you don't disable Live Photos). Quite fun to review all the random stereoscopy you have inadvertently created by having an unsteady grip on the camera...

That was fun, and the script on github looks hand-written which is refreshing after having been reading AI-written code for months.
I have 120k photos in iCloud that I'm sure have duplicates (I exported my library to Google Photos years ago and exported it back to iCloud). The iOS duplicate detection stopped flagging duplicates for me to merge a while back. I gotta do something like this script...

I often take a very short video, under 5s, rather than a picture. Even 1-2 seconds captures dimension and sound in a different way than a still picture. I’ve had people say it’s strange but they work well for me.

Not that strange I guess, given how iOS does that automatically for all taken pictures.
The website is really nicely designed, and the dithering on the images is quite beautiful.

Good idea, but the discovered image sequences are very different from the deliberately created examples at the top of the page.

I had a look at the top submissions on the /r/wigglegrams subreddit [0]. It seems that some (including some of those featured in the article) are the more prototypical stereoscopic wigglegram, whereas others are more a stylistic effect.
How is the first one done? It seems like the cartons would fall faster than you could manually capture 2-3 images?

It's tech from the 80s. Look up the Nishika N8000 and Nimslo 3D.
Basically it's multiple lenses next to each other, each capturing a small slice on the 35mm film. Every lens has it's own shutter, which is triggered at exactly the same time.
This wasn't too involved and quite cheap to implement with analog tech in the 80s/90s, but if you want to do the same thing with digital there's quite a bit more to consider. Here's a cool video of someone building a digital stereo camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aofxbH0elo
The hard part with digital boils down to: Cheap camera modules are hard to calibrate to the same parameters and sometimes impossible to set focus, so pictures look the same. And taking pictures takes quite a bit of processing power, so if you want to take 4 pictures at once it gets a bit tricky with just a cheap raspberry or similar.
This is one option, trading ease of use and low cost for lower picture quality and less light.

I believe there have been camera specifically designed for this, where they have multiple horizontally spaced lenses that all take a picture at the same time, or literally just holding several cameras right next to each other and triggering them all at once

I assume more than a single camera or a moving camera with a very high shutter speed with fixed focus.

I imagine those to be like crack cocaine for people with ADHD, but I just feel like I'm being zapped watching them.

I have ADHD and normally excessive movement on my monitor disturbs me, but this didn't bring even a little discomfort. I didn't get addicted to them as well.

I am diagnosed with ADHD and the amount of jumping movement in these is torturous.

really cool. I imagine this will land as a filter on insta soon :D
