Oh yeah, wiggle stereo works better if you look with one eye, since that forces your brain into using parallax for depth cues..
Moist and Dry
I know that silly link well, I showed this shit to my students and pointed out that "Moist and Dry" is the most delightful combination of earnest cluelessness and slimy sexual innuendo that they will ever encounter.
Here's the link for the class on tacky web faux pas: http://www.digitalmediatree.com/sallymckay/lessons/?46001
(though the whole course was one tacky web faux pas)
I thought my smarty pants students would make fun of this stuff, but of course they loved it. Then I showed it to Ed Pien saying that my smarty pants students didn't make fun of this and neither did he. He totally loved it.
what is parallax?
It's the relative change in angle of two objects when you move your head. (More correctly this is monocular motion parallax)
This is one of the reasons that most birds move their heads around.

Our depth perception is actually integrated from several different cues- interesting things happen when cues don't agree.

thank you!
I always wondered about monocular cues, without knowing the term, because a person with one eye still has some depth perception.
Andre de Toth, who directed Vincent Price in House of Wax (one of the classic 3D films) only had one eye, as did Carl Pulfrich, discoverer of the effect named after him. Pulfrich was cool- he predicted how the effect would be precieved from the physiology of the eye, but of course never got to see it in action.

Get a pair of dark sunglasses, cover one eye with one of the lenses and watch this:
