I did it! I made an animated gif aka 'wiggle'!
This is created from a series of 10 images I took of a little still life, using a parallel camera set up, in which the objects sit in the zero disparity plane (the point of vergence for the camera angles) the alternative to this is toed-in verging, in which the cameras are angled to reach a common point at the centre of the object.
In a way its kind of a reverse panoramic. Rather than the image spanning 360 degrees and 'moving' around you as the viewer (or camera), you appear to move around the subject. This is also a common camera movement in cinema- having the camera pan and spin around a subject, or, as revolutionized by the Matrix, use of multiple cameras to capture a single fragment of time (a guy jumping,suspended in space) from different angles, so we can then pan all around a single moment.
Anyway, this is just a small test to examine the way we can use still imagery to give the illusion of 3D space.
Here is another wiggle I made from the two corresponding images from a Viewmaster, after scanning the disc transparencies.
