Even flat objects exist in three dimensions and can benefit from animated image sequences. Being able to see and control the turning of this stereoscopic card not only offers an engaging way of seeing the back side, it also gives us a more visceral sense of the size and tactility of the object. More so that we get with even a very nicely designed collection presentation of flat images and written dimensions.
