I do it all the time! :-) Often when I get a left and right stereo pair on the computer
and view them sequentially (using a image program specializing in viewing
and cataloging) I notice the sudden perspective shift of the image and the
seemingly 3-D depth. I believe this depth is simply motion parallax, which
is a close second to stereoscopic depth perception. Note, motion parallax
is not a stereoscopic depth cue.

P.S. I remember another interesting thread regarding this kind of "3-D" in
a discussion regarding lenticulars and viewing the "3-D" with one eye and
rotating the lenticular (or hologram). John Roberts had posted about it, if
memory serves.

P.P.S. I have a vague recollection reading about  the 3-D without glasses.
I think it was more a flickering rather than a wobble (sorry for the less than
technical terminology! ;-) ) Was that the case? I don't remember it being
a motion parallax effect. It might have been.
