Moving 3D art

Move the mouse, or tilt your phone, and the painting shifts in depth. Left alone, it drifts gently.

Your photos stay on your device: everything is drawn in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Questions

Can I use it as a live wallpaper?

Open this page full screen on a spare monitor or TV browser and it drifts gently on its own. Phones need a live-wallpaper app for that; this page shows the effect in the browser.

How does it work?

We estimate a depth map for the painting and shift near parts more than far parts as you move, which your brain reads as depth (parallax). It runs on your graphics chip with WebGL.
