Yeah, I know I felt fished in by the 'visit my site' approach that could
have used the preface 'I'm selling stuff!'.

Deflecting the subject, I saw someone at the Atlanta NSA pushing viewers
that were basically cardboard glasses with pinholes at the eyes - the (2D)
pictures demonstrated were of bright colored foreground objects (hot air
balloons) which naturally advance against a pale blue recessive
background...much earlier, I'd always thought 2D slide projections looked
'deep' for much the same reasons.  What I'm getting at, I guess, is the
mind may 'want' to see things in depth, and there are folks ready to sell
to that part of the mind.
