The article is about a user who accidentally created a collection of 'wigglegrams' - stereo images made by looping frames together, similar to GIFs. The author discusses their process of using perceptual hashing to automatically find and stitch these accidental wigglegrams from their camera roll into a single file.
Discussion (41): 5 min
The comment thread discusses various opinions and technical insights about wigglegrams, a stereoscopic effect that creates an illusion of depth from multiple slightly different images. The discussion includes the use of multiple cameras or high shutter speed for creating these effects, their impact on people with ADHD, and their potential as a motion sickness test.
