3D: Viewing in the 21st century

3Dimensional Refers to objects that are rendered visually on paper, film or on screen in three planes (X, Y and Z). It is a system or effect that adds a three-dimensional appearance to visual images, as in films, slides, or drawings.

it allows items that appeared flat to the human eye to be display in a form that allows for various dimension to be represented. These dimensions include width, depth, and height.


3-D image creation can be viewed as a three-phase process of: tessellation ,geometry , and rending . In the first phase, models are created of individual objects using linked points that are made into a number of individual polygons (tiles). In the next stage, the polygons are transformed in various ways and lighting effects are applied. In the third stage, the transformed images are rendered into objects with very fine detail.





Much of the development around the technology is concerned with bringing 3D to your living room, such as is the case with the 3D-enabled TVs from LG and Toshiba, for example, samsung's 3D LED monitors, or the addition of3D movies to the streaming service VUDU, which can pipe Hollywood entertainment directly into your living room. But 3D is showing up on other screens, too - mobile phones and tablets ,gaming device and mobile 3D DTV device

Apparently, viewing 3D images, even the glasses-free kind, can negatively impact the vision development in small children. According to a report from The Wall St. Journal, both Nintendo and Toshiba have recently issued warnings about the vision damage that could occur when children under six view 3D video images. To quote, Toshiba's warning says that "due to the possibility of impact on vision development, viewers of 3D video images should be aged 6 or older.
