Very cool!
It made me think of, for showing z-depth, you could get a motorized fader and prop it up vertically on the table, and hook it up to a microcontroller or raspberry pi. As you dial the z up and down, the knob on the fader would move to the physically-correct height.
(You could probably also show z-depth by leaning an ordinary dot frame at an angle, and projecting an ordinary line on it. But the actuator would be cooler.)
I wonder if you could even do something where the page is lying flat on a tray, and the actuator moves the tray up and down, so the page itself is at the z-height....
