Dang. I theorize that a person might be able to see 3D if there are receptors positioned so that they're outlining a pyrmid without a bottom, or something like that.irockyou wrote:No, not really.. its even harder with glass, because it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to look at the glass itself and not what is behind the glass.
If you are able to manage looking at the glass, however, you would only see it in multiple 2d sections, no matter how hard you try or how thin it is.
