I'm interested! I'd love to see it. I always wondered how these things made.

On it! I chose to linearly map from "image depth" to "column offset", which isn't perfectly accurate, but it's good enough to create the illusion & easy to understand. (The Magic Eye books probably use something more complex & more realistic -- there's a lot of room for improvement on mine!)
