w3D Wiggle stereograms use animation to switch between the left and right view of a stereogram. Here we create a nice animation that slides back and forth, for a smooth wiggle 3D ("w3D") effect. First the image is broken down into planes. Each plane is given a depth distance. The image belonging to each plane is horizontally compressed enough that the "shadows" cast by the image belonging to the planes in front of it cover the "holes" in the plane. The whole thing is then animated in a gentle see-saw fashion to get the wiggle effect.
Wiggle stereograms were invented by Jim Gasperini, who made that technology freely available. This concept is likewise put into the public domain (not GNU), so there are no restrictions on ripping it off, selling it for profit and keeping derived technologies private.
Why is this in the public domain and not under GNU? Well, since Jim put no restrictions whatever on the intellectual property rights of his invention, it was felt we should do the same.
