What are they
MPO (Multi-Picture Object Bitmap) Files are stereoscopic images, comprised of two overlapping 2D JPEG images. Each is used to represent the "left" and "right" view respectively, simulating a 3D effect. The 3D view of the Nintendo 3DS is created using MPO images. A device which does not support MPO cannot open and display the 3D image and may only display a JPG image version.
The format was developed by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) as a raster image format for use with digital cameras with multiple stereoscopic lenses. [2]
Full documentation can be found here [1]
Some Digital Cameras can snap MPO Images, using two sensors spaced apart in the average distance of two human eyes.

Notes & Experiments
3D off view
When the 3D effect is off, only the left image is displayed.
3D OFF
3D ON - LEFT
3D ON - RIGHT
hiding hints in MPOs!
besides the stereoscopic effect, mpo images can be used to hide information that can only be viewed on the nintendo when the 3D effect is turned on! sneakyyyyy...
This lovely function allows for storytelling through mpo images!
