Hey Tom,

It's a long story, actually it's very easy to do if you have the proper software and hardware, but I borowwed this image from one already so processed then broke it down into individual files, duplicated the files many times and rendered it in P2E as a short video.

The basic process for taking these images requires a slider mounted on a tripod which allows the camera to shoot multiple frames each from a slightly different position. A series of about a dozen were used for this example, but it's smoother if you use about 20. Each sequential image has a slightly different "perspective" on the frame and it's incumbent on the photographer to have something in the foreground, the middle and the background for best results. The depth of field is set so that the background is slightly blurred and the foreground and subject are in sharp focus. As the camera is moved along the rail, a shot is taken at regular intervals so that the background being further from the lens has more "shift" than the foreground. There is very little shift up close and greater amounts in the far view while the subject has some but not a great deal of movement. The images are then adjusted sequentially and reversed (in sequence) to obtain a "scan" right then left, etc. The whole sequence then is repeated multiple times and the slideshow is repeated until esc is pressed in this example.

In a real world use, the frames would be precision interlaced in specialized software then printed with a high resolution printer. After the print is made, a special lenticular plastic "lens" is carefully laminated to the image. When a viewer passes by the image or moves the image in relation to their eyes the 3D effect is created. Actually there are a number of effects which can be created this way including zoom, animation, 3D, etc. This process is used comercially (lenticular printing) to produce holographic effects from tiny holograms on currency to huge poster sized and even billboard size prints.

Best regards,

Lin
