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

I agree. The first three from reddit work really well for me. I assume it's because of the fixed horizontal movement, and the fact that they are captured at the same moment from different angles. :)

The others are nice (but hectic) animations to me.

  • Yeah, the first three work for me too. (just realized my original comment was kind of ambiguous)

The ones they generated weren't taken specifically to be wigglegrams so they don't work as well as intentional ones. The biggest problem is number of photos and the consistency of the direction of movement between each image and the next as well as consistent step sizes. They also tend to work better with horizontal movement compared to vertical probably due to it matching our eye layout but that's a guess.

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

  • Same. I have amblyopia and I'm really appreciating the effect. I think people's brain with "only one" eye rely a lot more onto perceptive and parallax effect for 3D perception.
