Thinking about it, blackness should be the inverse tangent of the 
distance of an object from the camera. But what about the scale? How 
much is 1 unit? I'm guessing the scale should be somehow related to the 
distance between the viewer's eyes. It's also possible that the Facebook 
plugin fudges all these numbers somehow in completely arbitrary ways.
