The Pulfrich effect is an optical illusion where objects moving in a single plane also appear to have depth, because the processing of the visual signal in one eye is delayed, e.g. by holding a filter in front of one eye to dim the light reaching that eye but not the other.
To view the animation you'll need to make such a filter. One simple method is to take a cheap pair of sunglasses and pop the lens out of one side.
What also works, but not so well, is to fan out the fingers of one hand in front of one eye and rapidly wave the hand up and down to occlude the image with a "strobe" effect.
For this demo the filter should be over the right eye.
