But what if instead of adding a third dimension by going UP, you add a third dimension by going FORWARD. Like a computer screen, X and Y coordinates are side-to-side and up-and-down. If you made a volumetric display by adding a third dimension to that, Y would be up and Z would be forward.

I usually think of Z as up, because that’s how stuff based on the physical world usually works. But I can understand why some think of it with Y as up.
