I didn’t make these myself, check the link at the very bottom of my post for the source. But you should just be able to make a two frame animated gif that loops. Most graphics apps can create those. Good luck!

okay so I spent the last 20 minutes searching for the same template you’re using and can’t find it. Didn’t want to have to ask but really would like to use it for my blog, could you let me know? I’ll check back here soon for any replies. Thank you

I believe the Nintendo 3DS presents a different picture to each eye by using a special (lenticular?) film over the screen. I haven’t seen a 3DS yet, but usually the film has vertical ridges. The film causes all the even pixel columns to be directed to one eye and all the odd pixel columns to the other eye.

This usually requires that you look at the screen straight on, if you were to look at it from an angle it probably doesn’t work.

I agree, it does seem that both rely entirely on motion parallax, however I did some experimenting yesterday with the images above slowed down (the rate of switching) and the 3d effect was not as dramatic. I can’t entirely explain that, I wouldn’t think that speed would matter if it were motion parallax.

It’s fascinating to hear that it doesn’t require two good eyes to work.

I did look at the images at start3d.com and could see some depth to them, but not as much as these on your site. I’m not sure what you mean about start3d not using stereopsis because it doesn’t seem that these images depend on that either. Both seem to rely entirely on motion parallax, no? But I’m not sure why start3d doesn’t look as 3-d to me.

I obviously do have some depth perception, but I find myself coming back to these images over and over, wishing the real world looked like that to me.

@Amy: A few comments above someone linked to start3d.com, try that one and see if that one works for you.

Comment on Self-balancing wheel: the end of training wheels by Ron A. Zajac

Sorry, but I’m not that impressed. I note people cite other applications (like for the elderly), but pitching it to kids learning to ride a bike seems a little silly.

I have a very fond memory of seeing my youngest daughter thru training wheels, and I can’t see how higher-tech is going to accentuate these kinds of narratives for anyone; if anything, it threatens to distract from the human element.

Again: It’s a (fascinating) solution in search of a problem: My best wishes as you ferret out these problems.
