Lenticular
It is an adjective used to describe the technology as the formation of special effects requires a transparent plastic sheet called "lenticular sheet" - one side embossed, or extruded, with tiny rows of convex "lens" and the other side basically flat.

Source files are each undergone a special process called "interlacing". The interlaced images are then merged together and printed, or laminated, on the flat side of the "lenticular sheet". Through light refraction of the tiny lenses, special effects could then be seen on the corrugated side of tiny lenses.

Lenticular technology gets its name because the effects show up when light from interlaced images refracted by the tiny lenses of the plastic sheet. To view "flipping", "zooming", "motion", and "morphing" effects, you shall either view the images on the front side, or corrugated side, from different directions, or rotate the card with direction of lenses as the axial. For 3 dimensional, the process is no necessary as images will be formed automatically by visual parallax..
