    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! mpl_stereo: https://github.com/scottshambaugh/mpl_stereo

    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.

    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 same effect is used in a Dan Deacon video.

    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...

    Includes repo for finding pictures taken from slightly different perspectives in a photo archive, and making wigglegrams from them.

    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.

    How is the first one done? It seems like the cartons would fall faster than you could manually capture 2-3 images?

    (super cool all around, thanks for sharing)

      This is one option, trading ease of use and low cost for lower picture quality and less light.

      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.
