Reply to comment by littleprof123 in Stereoscopic GIF of a NASA simulation of two binary black holes orbiting by EmergeHolographic

It's because their faking stereoscopic images by mirroring the image, the only problem here is the original images are a straight on view so there's nothing for your eyes to compare left to right.

Nothing lines up except the holes in the centre and since there straight up and down you get no 3D.

The intention is to emphasize symmetry through stereoscopic depth. By "fake" I believe you mean it's not depth from parallax, which is true, but that isn't the point as lensing of this sort has recursive reflective symmetry which is the intended source of depth instead of parallax
