The rest is mixed up with information about possible solutions. Also, it's highly unlikely the a user will visit your site with a fully formed desire to view objects in a collection with a sense of 3D depth based on their age :-). But let's say the authors of that site want to visualize objects in the collection with different objects at different depths. It seems to me either WebGL or CSS 3D transforms --- or a mixture --- could be used for this, maybe with some extra information provided to identity the camera positions for rendering the stereo views. Actually, I probably shouldn't be involved in this discussion since I'm monocular :-). Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
