The dolly-zoom warps perspective by pushing the background away while keeping the subject the same size — the unsettling "vertigo" effect — reconstructed here from an estimated depth map.
It all happens on your device. A clearly separated subject gives the cleanest result.
Tip: Center your subject with plenty of background behind them.
