Just a bit more...

My more philosophical take on the question "Why make 3D interfaces?" is the 
rich and deep meaning that "places" and "spaces" include.  We are spatial 
beings, existing and moving in spaces, identifying places, and most 
importantly, building enclosed spaces to live in.  We also like to explore and 
find new places.  There are many aesthetic and emotional aspects to being *in* 
or *entering* or *leaving* a space, being in it with other people, being in 
some spatial configuration with things and people.

In this sense, thinking about 3D spaces demands a little more of a 
phenomenological approach than, say, reasoning through a language design.
