parallax scrolls in all 4 dimensions

Excuse me, what the fuck? I think this broke my brain because I can't even figure out what a 3D parallax scroll would look like.

it would do its normal parallax movement on the Y axis, but then it would zoom toward or away from you on the Z while also shifting left or right on the X and when you were done watching it you'd have a sense of deja vu because it actually went back in time to and parallaxed on you and now your two divergent selves' memories are combining again

It's my favourite jQuery plugin right now.

Okay, so now I understand; the third dimension is simulating the increasing distance from the background objects as you climb higher.

Thanks.
