The Parallax View is an upcoming app that creates an illusion of depth by using 3D head tracking on the iPhone X.

The app, designed by Peder Norrby, uses the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera to infer the 3D position of a user's eyes.

Using the position of an eye and the device screen rectangle a non-symmetric camera frustum can be defined. The frustum defines an off-axis projection that when used for rendering on the device allows for objects appearing in front of, and behind the screen of the device.

Take a look at the video below to see the illusion in action. A detailed write-up with source code can be found at the link below...

I like the irony that “parallax view” works best using only one eye...

This is super creative!! Hope to see this guy becoming an iOS app developer, I'd pay gladly for his work.

Nice to see developers make use of the true depth camera

Nothing is ever free! Somebody always has to pay! You, me, advertisers, or companies.

That’s awesome! Curious though, if it’s all free and open source, how does the author monetise it?
