I suppose you meant 2-D. There are a variety of 'tricks' that can achieve the
same productivity that's achieve by pseudo-3-D. For much of the rest, 3-D is
just vanity. Until everyone has it... (think of a conference where everyone
has iBooks or a world where everyone has Vista and DirectX-enabled wafer).

can the human mind at all comprehend and track 4D? I very much doubt it. It's
information overload, for sure.
Best wishes,
Roy
