Finally, see the article and resources in Wikipedia.
If you have an old Mac, this is a program I wrote to experiment with autostereograms. You'll need Stuffit to expand it — and OS9!
Whether you have Adobe Photoshop or not, read the very good documentation (in PDF) describing my plugin and its many features. The plugin is available.
Animated autostereograms: http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~uniaaa/MagicEye/MagicEyeAnim.html - Anton Antonov Antonov's web site, with pictures like this (generated in Mathematica), with acknowledgements to Lichtenstein's Shipboard girl:
Anton has also combined static and animated autostereograms:
