	What's interesting is that they have this in some soccer stadiums. 
Essentially, from the camera's vantage point (broadcasting the game), it 
really looks like a 3-D advertising banner. Until someone walks over it 
or the ball rolls over it and you realize it's just 2-D on the floor.

	Apparently not that sensitive to camera motion. My brain is fooled 
every time - even though I know it's 2-D and not a 3-D billboard.

	Now your scene probably is sensitive to position, given the scale.
