3D it! is a script that turns every website into 3d (well, kind of)… It is a bit buggy, but it offers some serious 3D waist of time on any website, by one single click.
How to: go to 3D it! and drag the button with the cursor (left column) to your bookmarks toolbar. Then, just click it while watching any site.

A crew of demolition workers in Paris discovered a mysterious wooden box hidden in the ruins of a condemned building. The box contained a collection of photographs depicting a hedonistic world filled with drunken devils, sinister skeletons and scantily clad women. An anonymous note found buried among the glass images added:
‘“This is the work of my life, it is thus that I dreamed of Hell. If my visions are true, then the wicked may rest assured, the afterlife will be sweet for them to bear.”
What the demolition workers discovered that day was a series of photographs known as Les Diableries, The Diabolical. Each scene in the series was composed of an elaborate diorama sculpted out of plaster and clay and embellished with miniature props. Created in Paris during the 1860s, the series was printed in the form of stereoscopic transparencies.’
How to see cross-eyed stereoscopic images:

‘Oritsunagumono’ (translated as ‘things folded and connected’) is a collection of origami works by Japanese Visual Communication student Takayuki Hori.
Each translucent sheet is printed with the images of skeletons of eight endangered species or, on some pages, human-made discarded objects that are often ingested by the animals in the wild.
Using the ancient tradition of folded paper, Hori assembles the pages into a three-dimensional model.

Bodycloud is a project by designer Raphael Perret. It materialises the space used by a human body in motion into a sculpture, using the same motion capture technology used for 3d animations. The goal is to create two life size sculptures, a positive, like the miniature in the pics, and a negative version that could be explored from within. Bodycloud was created by tracking Milton Rodrigues’s capoeira moves. Found here.
