Found a guy on instagram who builds a custom stereoscopic camera with 4 identical pi cams spaced evenly (about 1 inch (2.54cm)) away from each other on a line. It creates wigglegrams https://k4mera.world/

Cool concept, but implementation is bad. The exposures vary so much between the separate shots it's giving a stroboscopic effect. Hopefully they fix it in later revisions.
I wonder if it goes away in sunlight.

It's probably a few milliseconds difference in timing between when the (short) exposure is taken, resulting in different brightness of lights powered by 60Hz AC.

I think that's part of the charm.
Maybe? Would be nice for it to be optional. The site says the camera saves the original images, so they should be able to provide multiple stitching approaches.

If it’s a lighting flicker issue, you can probably address with frame stacking… multiple exposures from each lens taken in rapid succession, then combined.
