Rainbows in 3D?

Please forgive my ignorance on this one.  I have only a high school 
education.  

When I first read of the suggestion that rainbows would look cool in 
hyperstereo I thought, wait a minute, doesn't every POV provide a 
"different" rainbow one which ids a reflection/refraction of the sun-
light behind the viewer?  Since rainbows don't really exist in one 
spot there's no way you could get a hyper of one.

Then I thought, but what -would- it look like?  The rainbows would seem 
to occupy different positions relative to fixed f.g. and b.g. objects.
I'm afraid my education limits me at this point.  Perhaps someone else 
could offer an idea of which "direction" the rainbow would seem to go 
between left to right views and what degree of apparent movement one 
might expect?  Maybe rainbow hypers are possible after all.

Best regards,
Bill Davis
