Paper craft

Two pictures.
One fold.

An agamograph shows one picture from the left and a different one from the right. Add two pictures, turn the result around in 3D, then print it, cut it and fold it.

From the left

That's the dog.

From the right

Now it's the cat.

Add two pictures to see your agamograph.

They're cut into strips and interleaved, then folded like a fan: one picture faces left, the other faces right.

Making it

1Print. At 100% scale, on the thickest paper or card your printer takes.
2Cut. Along the corner marks, so only the picture is left.
3Fold. At each mark: M folds towards you, V folds away. Start from the left and work across.
4Look. Stand it on a table. Image A from the left, Image B from the right.

Worth knowing

How a folded sheet shows two pictures.

No maths needed to use it. This is just in case you're curious.

Strips, interleaved

Each picture is cut into equal vertical strips. The sheet takes them in turn: a strip of A, a strip of B, a strip of A, and so on. Printed flat, it looks like a jumble.

Folded like a fan

Fold it back and forth along the strip edges and every A strip ends up facing one way, every B strip the other. From the left you only see the A faces, side by side, so A comes back together. From the right, B does.
