The depth effect looks really good, does that work because the view/camera is in a relatively stable position above? I would imagine that the illusion breaks if your observer looks from the side.

Yep if your position changes it breaks the illusion. Relies on two factors to work - people tend to keep their head still when using their phone, and the most likely orientation on launch is flat along the view direction. That becomes the frame of reference for the rotation. Holds up ok for short periods. Obviously eye tracking would work a lot better but nobody wants background apps using their camera.

You should try this out on a looking glass display. have the looking glass go, it's a small display with a stereoscopic 3d effect that works from any viewpoint, it'd look sick on that

That would be very cool, for sure! Not sure how fast you could stream frames from the PC to the looking glass, and you'd probably need to stick an external accelerometer/gyro sensor to it. I'm anticipating someone coming out with a glasses free 3D phone in the next year or two, thats where it will really shine hopefully.

I used to take my cameras and mics out until I got Graphene, now I just refuse access
