If you slice an image along the skew() axis, drop its opacity, and place subsequent copies visually stacked tightly behind one another, you get a phenomenally premium “glitch glass” depth.

Stacking with Absolute Identical

.stack-wrap {
  position: relative;
  /* Skew radically cuts the rectangles into fast-moving speed lines */
  transform: skew(-20deg);
}

.layer {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0; left: 0;
  width: 100%; height: 100%;
  background: url('art.jpg') center/cover;
  transition: transform 0.5s ease, opacity 0.5s ease;
}

/* Layering logic! */
.layer-bottom { opacity: 0.2; transform: translate(30px, 30px); }
.layer-middle { opacity: 0.5; transform: translate(15px, 15px); }
.layer-top    { opacity: 1; transform: translate(0, 0); }

/* The spread occurs upon interaction */
.stack-wrap:hover .layer-bottom { transform: translate(60px, 60px); }
.stack-wrap:hover .layer-middle { transform: translate(30px, 30px); }

When you hover the neon city inside the Live Demo, watch how the physical ghosting echoes drift outwards across the page!
