How to decode stereogram by GIMP

I made a small experiment and it’s possible to achieve similar results by GIMP.

Select Move tool from GIMP toolbox (M).

gimp-move-tool

Start moving the layer to the right. You can use arrows to move the layer. If you prefer mouse then click, press and hold CTRL key to avoid shifting in both X and Y axes.

Here is the result:
