From the pictures itself it seems obvious that whoever wrote this suffers from the infamous valley "if it works on my iPhone, it's standard-compliant"-syndrome.
Because, you know, it breaks horribly in most stuff I throw at it and performs horribly bad even on desktop Chrome on a dev-machine.

As much as I personally enjoy the demo the creator chose for the main page, I wonder whether said creator could have found a "flo-mo" view of something captivating for reasons other than "this chick is hot". (There's a really unpleasant history of the male gaze being squeezed into tech demos -- I don't think we need to do that anymore.)

Hey guys, thanks for checking this out. It was a really fun project to build! There are plenty of bugs to fix and devices to test. If you'd like to help, shoot me a pull request:

To those saying it isn't working, have you tried waiting? It seems the frames aren't pre loaded, so for the first few seconds of tilting on my iPhone 4s I was just getting a black screen with the occasional flicker.

Is this supposed to work on Android devices? It doesn't seem to do anything on my N7.

It's neat at first, but then it becomes very distracting, to the point where it is difficult to focus on anything else on the page. Perhaps the mouse movement can be captured only when it enters a bounding box around the image (+ some padding)?
I'm not sure if I can think of a use case for this, but I am also confident that someone, somewhere, will make an awesome thing using lenticular.js :)

I can see a lot of use for this for product reviews on sales sites. It would have to default to a static image first though.
Great work.

Huh... mildly NSFW description in the page.

This works fine on my Galaxy Nexus. I'm using Chrome.
The only suggestion that I have is to do some smoothing of the values you get from the accelerometer. The movement can be a bit jerky.

Gorgeous. Can't wait to use this on a project.

Just tried this on my iPhone 3Gs, not working

Is this supposed to work on the iPad as well? Only seems to work on my iPhone... But it's very cool!

I got a matte display to avoid reflections, but apparently someone found a workaround...

Interesting... I'm trying to think up an actual use for it now.

Doesn't work on Firefox for Android.

What license is this under?

The idea is nice. It shouldn't tell "things you'll never own" for the Lamborghini Aventador.

I'm flooded with emotions. Where on earth did you come up with the name? I'm... a fan.
Also, the idea is very cool. There was a gif site posted here or reddit the other day that consumed far too much of my time. Similar to this, but this has to be fun to do while tilting the ipad. (Android version?)
