Help I accidentally a wigglegram (lmao.center)

Awesome

really cool. I imagine this will land as a filter on insta soon :D

Includes repo for finding pictures taken from slightly different perspectives in a photo archive, and making wigglegrams from them.

Good idea, but the discovered image sequences are very different from the deliberately created examples at the top of the page.

That was fun, and the script on github looks hand-written which is refreshing after having been reading AI-written code for months.

I have 120k photos in iCloud that I'm sure have duplicates (I exported my library to Google Photos years ago and exported it back to iCloud). The iOS duplicate detection stopped flagging duplicates for me to merge a while back. I gotta do something like this script...

Somehow the extra motion seems to reduce the illusion of depth, it just seems like a disjointed animation to me.

I imagine those to be like crack cocaine for people with ADHD, but I just feel like I'm being zapped watching them.

How is the first one done? It seems like the cartons would fall faster than you could manually capture 2-3 images?

(super cool all around, thanks for sharing)

The website is really nicely designed, and the dithering on the images is quite beautiful.

I often take a very short video, under 5s, rather than a picture. Even 1-2 seconds captures dimension and sound in a different way than a still picture. I’ve had people say it’s strange but they work well for me.

I’ll shill a library I wrote to make wigglegrams & stereograms in matplotlib - I think pseudo-3D visualization is super underrated as a technique to understand data! mpl_stereo: https://github.com/scottshambaugh/mpl_stereo

The same effect is used in a Dan Deacon video.

I made these in 2007 https://trondal.com/oygardstjonn

Doubles as a motion sickness test :)

If you have an iPhone, it does this automatically (provided you don't disable Live Photos). Quite fun to review all the random stereoscopy you have inadvertently created by having an unsteady grip on the camera...

That link should have an epilepsy warning.

On my Pixel phone I always leave enable the "Top Shot" setting, it saves a short low resolution video clip in the XMP/RDF metadata of the JPEG file. It saves motions that are not visible on a still image adding valuable information. iPhones and Samsungs have similar settings.

I think the title is missing a verb ...

If you're using an iPhone, couldn't you automate this by extracting "Live images" which are kind of "mini-videos" around the photo you took?

I've noticed that GIFS with several frames in them tend to be quite large files. I like that these use dithering, which can reduce the file size. Ideally it would be not larger than 2-3 lightweight photos juxtaposed together, and less than 300KB. I also wish there was a pause button on them because sometimes reading articles on the web with them persistent can get tedious. I suppose disabling images can mediate that, or copying the text to another document.

"In Web Browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox): Install browser extensions like GIF Scrubber on Chrome or GIF Blocker on Firefox, which add playback controls to any web page.

On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion, and turn off Animated Images to pause all GIFs in Safari.

On Mac: Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Display, and toggle off Animated Images.

In PowerPoint: Press the 1 key on your keyboard during a presentation to pause the GIF."

Found a guy on instagram who builds a custom stereoscopic camera with 4 identical pi cams spaced evenly (about 1 inch (2.54cm)) away from each other on a line. It creates wigglegrams https://k4mera.world/

There's something really beautiful about this. The moments of your life can dance.
