- The "spinning disk/helix/light panel" displays also have the disadvantage
- that they inherently cannot show occlusion (in this case, hidden surface
- removal) correctly for more than one viewer position.

- This is a fundamental shortcoming, given how strong our reliance on
- occlusion is relative to stereopsis.
