jbq wrote fantastic essay on a similar topic, Dizzying but Invisible Depth [1]. There was also an HN discussion at the time [2].

[1]: The original was posted on Google+ and is, of course, long-since gone. Wayback machine also doesn't seem to have captured it, but I found https://josh.works/dizzying-but-invisible-depth, which matches what I remember.
