Wouldn't the camera angle have to change horizontally instead of subject changing positions?

it's different than normal 3d images, but it still has a surprising amount of depth for a video, try it!

Sorry, I actually don't see it... At least not in a very significant way. The reason why we see 3d is because we have two cameras (eyes) side by side looking at objects from slightly different perspectives, right? I'm no expert, but one stationary camera with one dude moving in front of it shouldn't cause a stereoscopic effect even if you take two frames of it (unless he's rotating, maybe).

It's kinda like having an image of pacman with his mouth open and another with his mouth half way closed, crossing you eyes and saying you see him as a sphere. Edit: Or, they wouldn't need special stereoscopic cameras for movies, they could just play two of the same videos one frame out of sync and call it a day. Maybe?

If an expert can prove me wrong, I'll shut my mouth.

Ok, that's sick

Actually I wrote an app a while back that lets you make 3d images out of videos, i wonder if it would work for this one

Me, just getting into computers and watching that ad in 1992:

"Wait...I can just make copy unto my floppy disks?!?"

20 years ago a friend of mine mixed that old video with Cadence Weapon's "30 Seconds" and named it "copy that floppy"

The days of running a program on two 1541 drives' own RAM so they could be daisy-chained together to be an assembly line of duplication.
