You already found the solution, you need some kind of background or 
surroundings. It doesn't have to be a checkered plane, you could put the 
object on a desk or on the floor(or a pedestal) in a room, or you could 
add a sky around the scene(something like a starfield or clouds, or just 
an abstract pattern). Otherwise, there are no visual cues that the 
camera is what is rotating, and not the object.
