What's the name for a picture that changes as you tilt it from side to side? Its two different images at 45% angles. We made them as kids by cutting two pictures in strips and alternating the strips on a folded sheet of paper.

Was the paper folded like a fan or accordian? I have seen pictures like this but know what the are called.

folded so the picture strips are 90% apart.

Lenticular. I knew that's what it was going to be when I saw the thread title, and then somebody beat me to it. I was so excited, too, because I didn't remember and didn't remember and didn't remember, and then as I clicked, ah! it came to me! Alas, too late.

I always called them "wiggle pictures" but a friend of mine wanted one of these for her album cover and it became clear that I was the only one.

I call them "wiggle pictures," too. When I was dating the daughter of Vari-Vue inventor Victor Anderson, I called her "the wiggle picture heiress."
