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)

I assume more than a single camera or a moving camera with a very high shutter speed with fixed focus.

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

I have ADHD and normally excessive movement on my monitor disturbs me, but this didn't bring even a little discomfort. I didn't get addicted to them as well.

This is one option, trading ease of use and low cost for lower picture quality and less light.

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

I had a look at the top submissions on the /r/wigglegrams subreddit [0]. It seems that some (including some of those featured in the article) are the more prototypical stereoscopic wigglegram, whereas others are more a stylistic effect.

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.

Not that strange I guess, given how iOS does that automatically for all taken pictures.
