That's right...

But we also have to remind that we are in art of illusion. That is quite
important in the fact that the position of user is sensibly different than
in a "real" space... that 3rd eye is getting all his importance in that
condition.
There was recently an exhibition on Markus Raetz in European House of

He is not using 3d or computer environnements for his work, but i think his
approach could interess web3d artists
