The volumetric environment is perceived inside brain by fusioning information gathered by binocular vision. From a static point of view, monocular vision can not do a proper evaluation of relative position between different objects situated at different distances from the observer.
But a monocular vision can better perceive a volumetric environment if the observation point is in motion. In motion, the brain receive a lot of succesive images collected from different points of view.
So, the entire story is based on ideea to obtain a volumetric environment which is perceived to be volumetric by the movement inside a single image on screen (not by a stereoscopic pair).

Open Google Earth, aproach an area with some mountains and will see a flat picture which suggest some mountain relief. Then drag the image in any direction and soon you will perceive the 3D depth of the mountain relief.

I am not a native English speaker, so can be difficult for me to explain some complex technical aspects.
