Relation to a wider context
3D film obviously has a long history. There have been many attempts to simulate 3D effects, one of which being the flimsical red/blue glasses. A nice entry point into some more experimental 3D effect is this Tom Scott video on the Pulfrich effect. Flipbooks, as well, have a long history. In our case, the mutoscope might be of interest. With Joseph, I looked at a project that projects 3D renders to 2D vectors. This is part of a larger research endeavor of ours to create software for SVG to HPGL conversion.
