Off by default. Turning it on lets the image respond to your cursor with a shallow sense of depth, rebuilt from a depth map computed when the image was catalogued. It is an interpretation for looking, not a measured 3D model — and it falls back to the flat image where the browser can't render it.

On the image

A girl sits on a dark sofa in a modest living room, wearing a blue dress with a pale collar, her hair set in waves the way mothers made their daughters wear them. Behind her, the room presents itself with the careful earnestness of the 1950s: light blue textured wallpaper, a small brass outlet plate, and on the wall a framed botanical print of a flower—the kind of art that cost little and signaled taste to visitors. A partial view of what appears to be a cabinet or shelf edge intrudes from the left. She has the composed, slightly uncomfortable bearing of a child aware she is being photographed, her expression distant and proper, as if she has been told to sit still and look at nothing in particular. Her parents have arranged her in this room among these modest furnishings and decorations because this is what they own and what they have decided matters enough to document.
