Take a photo.
Watch it rise.

Rub the paper and the picture comes up. Then it stands up in 3D, right in your browser. Your photo stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

  1. Bath 1

    Developer

    A depth tool works out how far away each part of the picture is. It runs in your browser. The first photo fetches it, about 27 MB, and the samples above don't need it at all.

  2. Bath 2

    Stop

    The picture is cut into thousands of soft splats, and each one is set at its own depth. Where the depth jumps, the picture tears, so a near thing stands in front of a far one.

  3. Bath 3

    Fix

    Now it's yours to turn. Take it to the Playground to poke it, paint it, blow on it, and share it by link or QR code.
