Could these use some frame interpolation and smoothing to make them less jerky? Or would that make them just a video clip then?
The first couple of examples were good but later examples were not so impressive. I think the later examples suffered from having too little of perspective change between frames and too much of subject movement -- which defeats the illusion of 3d from a "static" image.
Ideal one would have a left-to-right pan betweem the two clicks ..roughly matching the perspective shift between left eye and right eye ..while the subject stays static.
The better wigglegrams were taken at basically the same moment and with cameras set a static distance apart along a single (usually) horizontal line. Those flow a lot more cleanly than the accidental ones where the camera moved an inconsistent amount and not along a single line so they're a lot jumpier and it interrupts the parallax effect that makes wigglegrams work.
I also noticed on the wikipedia gallery theres an example that repeats frames for smoothness! 1-2-3-4-3-2 makes it naturally smooth if you have more than two frames.
Yes, the author notes as much: ‘many of them come out as less "stereoscopic" and more "kinescopic" - like little unintentional movies.’
Ah sorry ..i just scrolled though the pics and didnt read the post in full. Thanks.
