wiggle stereoscopy-The
technique gives an illusion
of 3D by showing twoimages in rapid alternation:
one from a left eye, and
one from a right-eye
perspective. Essentially it is
separating the two pictures
in time instead of space as
is normally the case. You
dont need to wear special
glasses to see the effect,
and the illusion of
dimensionality can be quite
striking.
