Interesting to hear what you describe. For most people it's hard to
describe what they see, because you never know how other people see
the world through their eyes. People who are unable to see colors
don't know how to describe what an image without colors looks like,
because they just don't know about colors.

I've also seen Captain EO (at Disneyland Paris, France). To me the objects
seemed to be as close as 2 ft., and I felt an urgent need to reach out.
I can also free-view images and see the hidden pictures in magic eye images.
Obviously there are different levels of this 'feature'.
