3-D means width,length and depth of a object.We can design object in three-dimensional way.
What are the benefits of using 3D?
The display of images in true 3D can provide important benefits to both the user and the product incorporating the display:
Improved accuracy and reduced errors. Many applications strive for nearly perfect accuracy, but current 2D displays hinder this increased user performance. Examples include surgery and other medical procedures such as ophthalmology and endoscopy, industrial inspection, biomedical analysis, microscopy, telerobotics, manipulation of hazardous materials, small part assembly, engineering and architectural design and many others. The added depth information in Real-Depth 3D images allows users to grasp and understand the image much more quickly and accurately.
Product differentiation. A product which incorporates Real-Depth 3D imaging will be totally unlike anything else in its product class, enabling it to really stand out in markets which are more and more crowded. Examples include laptop and desktop computers, gaming systems, flat panel TVs, PDAs and other consumer entertainment devices.
Increased sales impact. It is becoming more difficult to attract consumers' attention in retail environments such as stores and malls. Displays which show Real-Depth 3D images make the products shown more real, more attractive and more interesting, and draw attention to the sponsor as an innovative, 21st century retailer.
More immediacy in computer games and home entertainment. Although both of these product categories have made significant strides in recent years in providing viewers with a more lifelike experience, nothing can match the reality of Real-Depth 3D!
Types of pictures:
- architectural:
architects, builders, and communityplanners can add 3D vision with Real Depth to their virtual reality "Tolls". A building
can be created as a navigable, interactive, and immersive experience while still being designed, so that both architect and client
can experience the structure and make changes before construction begins. It has been said that every building built today is actually a physical prototype, leaving little room for input or changes until after construction. Virtual reality would allow for an electronic prototype to be created and modified, so that costly changes during or after construction are avoided.
Clients will want to experience their house or building in virtual reality before final designs are completed and construction begins. The VW 19 is a valuable tool for home builders and real-estate developers to help sell and visualize their designs.
- 3d movies:
he digital 3D movie experience is notonly dmesmerizing with people grabbing
at thin air and peering through a Virtual Window.
ou are struck with something so vivid and enthralling, you will want to see all of your favorite 2D DVDs in Real Depth 3D.
- cad/cam:
Mechanical engineers, architects andindustrial designers create complex 3D models in their computer. But how do you look at a 3D design and make sure it is
the way you want it to be? Or more importantly, how do you show a project
to clients so they can understand how it will really look? A stereoscopic view will help both the designer and the client get a more accurate understanding of depth and position within a design. It helps you see a building or part the way it will truly look before it is built. Mining processing operations are under increasing pressure to meet the demands of improved safety, lower operating costs, improved maintenance, with an increase in product quality. To assist with meeting the present and future industry challenges, the design of new equipment and processes can be dramatically improved through the use of virtual reality
- pc based gaming:
Humans have used stereo sis to accurately perceive depth in their environment for thousands of years. With the evolutionof computers has come the ability to extend our physical world by providing a virtual one. The possible implications and applications
of this advance are huge. The great majority of the 100s of the most popular PC based games TODAY CAN BE PLAYED . he gaming industry is a multi billion-dollar, highly competitive industry, which constantly makes use of the most, advanced hardware and software available to the general public. One only has to look at the evolution from pac-man style platform games to the hugely popular Doom style 3D games.
Monsters, bullets, and landscapes jump out of your flat monitor and into your imagination, making you part of THE GAME.
- telerobotics:
The ability to perceive a three dimensional view of a remote workspace is an essential factor for teleoperation performance for such applications as searching out & diffusing bombs, telemedicine, undersea/space exploration, search & rescue in hazardous areas, nuclear operations and material handling. Depth perception is a key point in the ability to skillfully manipulate in all of these remote environments. Displaying three-dimensional images is a complex process but it is possible to design a teleoperation interface that displays images to assist in manipulation tasks.
