It can be done by compacting 2d surfaces, and it is important so that they dont have to spend a lot on making a huge cardboard, or real, building.
Do you mean "depth" graphically, or "deep" characters? I will take it as you mean the latter; I have little to say about the former.
To answer your first question, it isn't. In fact, if an audience feels you're tricking them into thinking someone or something is deep, they will probably feel angry. Charlie Kaufman films and the television show Seinfeld all have very shallow characters, which we enjoy because they feel like real characters. Honesty is much more important than illusion, even if it really is just the illusion of honesty. If that makes any sense.
How can it be created? Just try to get the sense of a character, and remember that everything they say and do is for a reason. Ask yourself what this reason is, what they want. Make sure you are aware of these motives, and let them inform your decisions on further actions they take and things they say.
Do you mean the illusion of seeing the movie like looking out of a window ? Depth is important so you are not looking at a two dimensional picture. A curved screen helps to achieve the illusion of depth .
