Parallax scrolling is a technique in computer graphicswhere background images move past the camera more slowly than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D
scene and adding to the sense of immersion in the virtual experience.^[1] The technique grew out of the multiplane camera technique used in traditional animation^[2] since the 1930s. Parallax scrolling was popularized in 2D computer graphics and video games by the arcade games Moon Patrol^[3][4] and Jungle Hunt,^[5] both released in 1982. Some parallax scrolling had earlier been used by the 1981 arcade game Jump Bug.^[6]
