Really nice tip: Click the little keylock on the left side of the address bar when on medium, go into site settings, under javascript block it and medium articles will now load as just pure easy to read text :)
For me it removes images when doing this. I'm only surprised they don't require JS to display text yet.

Note that this "only" adds depth. It can't make anything appear to "come out of" the screen, the effect is more like a window. It's not like holograms in science fiction. It's still pretty impressive tho.
This looks like "coming out of the screen" to me: https://miro.medium.com/max/1200/1*-nm0AvcydVzyhgDFdh6V2g.gi... Do you mean the effect doesn't work with back to front motion? Like that pan can't start in the back and move forward?

For a "low tech" example of such effects take a look at http://amasci.com/amateur/holohint.html and related content.
Off-topic: Can someone please write a Firefox extension that removes that _stupid_ fucking popover on medium "Pardon blah blah give us your money". Does that shit really need to take over the entire fucking screen?

The next version will use microservices where every single character on the page will be downloaded and rendered by a different web worker. Good for concurrency!
Plus, makes it easy to slap on a paywall for the vowels.
The camera motion makes it look like they're trying to hide something... like the effect only works horizontally, not vertically.
The looking Glass display is horizontal parallax only (HPO). HPO is a common information reduction method in the 3D display world. Most holographic stereograms, all rainbow holograms, and all 3D lenticulars are HPO. Occlusion, horizontal motion parallax and stereoscopic cues are preserved, which are our primary 3D cues. The loss of vertical parallax changes computation from an N squared to N problem. An interactive d…
The video game Prey2 features similar technology also called LookingGlass. It has a fairly prominent role in the story line. I wonder if the naming is a coincidence or a nod.
