Joshua Heineman of Cursive Buildings has been collecting and altering archived images from the New York Public Library. He makes them wiggle, which creates a three-dimensional effect. You’ll have to click the link to see what I’m trying to explain. In the short term, the pictures seem to come to life. If you stare at any one of them too long, you may become dizzy.

The one that’s looking down the walkway is the best one. Neat idea.

Wow, thats zany and cool. I love that the Internet allows people to share their creative ideas with the world.

He’s using stereoscope cards and flashing between the two images, I work in a Special Collections department at a library and we have TONS of these cards. It’s a cool effect, they are cool in person.

There is a similar and very disturbing collection of animated gifs of vintage stereoscopic images of skin diseases at

Fantastic stuff. I wish I could make all the photographs in the History textbooks I teach with do this. I think the kids would love it. How hard is it to do? Could an ‘ordinary’ blogger do it? I’m a humanities gal and clueless about technology / science.

These are great too, specially the first one:

I made a few of my own, with reasonable success. Take two pictures, moving the camera horizontally about 4″ between shots. Aim at a point in the center, about halfway between the nearest and furthest object. Use an app like PaintShopPro Animation Shop to make a GIF that toggles between them at about 10 frames a second. Done.
