“Around a third of your brain is devoted to vision, and accordingly, it is amazing at it. From just the two small 2D images that are sent to your brain from the backs of your eyeballs, your brain reconstructs the entire 3D scene that you experience when you look around. Because your eyes are a few inches apart, they see two different views of the same scene, and those two views are all your brain needs. Distance causes objects to shift relative to each other when you see them from different angles. You can see this most clearly by moving your head from side to side and watching how things move. Your brain uses that discrepancy between the two views of your two eyes to reconstruct depth.”

Wondering: can one sequentialise cross views to make a kinda 3D film / animation?

Absolutely! Creating sequential cross-views can indeed simulate 3D effects in films and animations, mimicking how our brains process depth. This technique, often used in 3D cinema, involves presenting slightly offset images to the left and right eyes, allowing the brain to interpret them as a single three-dimensional scene.
