19 unusual facts about Three-dimensional space


Acoustic tag

Acoustic telemetry for fisheries research employs acoustic tags where are small sound-emitting devices allowing the detection and/or remote tracking of fish in three dimensions.

Anemic Cinema

The venture was a financial disaster, but some optical scientists thought they might be of use in restoring 3-dimensional sight to people with one eye.

Campo Atlético Charles H. Terry

There will also be a 3-D model of the park produced by the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico School of Architecture.

Cloaking device

A prototype Metascreen is a claimed invisibility cloak, which is just few micrometers thick and to a limited extent can hide 3D objects from microwaves in their natural environment, in their natural positions, in all directions, and from all of the observer's positions.

Cone beam computed tomography

As a 3D rendition, CBCT offers an undistorted view of the dentition that can be used to accurately visualize both erupted and non-erupted teeth, tooth root orientation and anomalous structures that conventional 2D radiography cannot.

Daniel St. Pierre

While working on Tarzan (1999), he and his team at Disney developed a patented process called Deep Canvas that allowed them to animate 3-D backgrounds before animating the characters, thus enhancing the apparent depth of backgrounds.

Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei

:Dungeons are in the form of repetitive, usually complex 3D mazes where it is very easy to lose bearings.

Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina

The interior of the P4/5 was designed by Glickenhaus himself with an iPod nano stereo and a tablet PC which features not only GPS but a 3D model of the car as well as a complete parts list and manual for easy servicing.

Hybrid integrated circuit

This technology produces a circuit that is, to some degree, three-dimensional.

Infant vision

To perceive depth, infants as well as adults rely on several signals such as distances and kinetics.

Light field

In computer graphics, this vector-valued function of 3D space is called the vector irradiance field (Arvo, 1994).

Listing's law

Listing's law describes the three-dimensional orientation of the eye and its axes of rotation.

Mario's Tennis

The Virtual Boy stereoscopic 3D graphics allows the player to perceive depth within the tennis court, allowing for better perception in the distance between tennis ball and the respective character.

NES Play Action Football

The game used an isometric view, presenting the game at an angle to make it appear 3-D, and the game allowed a very large number of moving objects (all the players) to be on screen at the same time.

Revizto

Revizto (revisto - latin for "visual check") - a cloud-based collaboration software for architects, engineers and contractors to communicate their design intent with their clients in a 3D environment.

Stereopticon

A stereopticon will not project or display stereoscopic/three-dimensional images.

Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid

The center also has an interactive 3D visualization infrastructure and a terrestrial scanner.

The Dome: Ground Zero

Painted 3D images were rendered and then opened using Photoshop for reworking and finally pasted onto the letters and panel borders.

XMDF

XMDF (eXtensible Model Data Format) is a library providing a standard format for the geometry data storage of river cross-sections, 2D/3D structured and unstructured meshes, geometric paths through space, and associated time data.


Etendue

The etendue of this light crossing dS is defined in 2D as

Fischer projection

-- and Nawang Sheling, (need a citation for this) --> is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional organic molecule by projection.

Four-dimensional space

The retina of the eye is also a two-dimensional array of receptors but the brain is able to perceive the nature of three-dimensional objects by inference from indirect information (such as shading, foreshortening, binocular vision, etc.).

Graviscalar

The new scalar field \phi comes from a component of the metric tensor g {55} where the figure 5 labels an additional, fifth dimension.

Heys USA Inc.

In 2011, expanded into the art world with a licensing agreement with 3D Pop artist, Charles Fazzino.

Hyper CD-ROM

The Hyper CD-ROM is an optical data storage device similar to the CD-ROM with a multilayer 3D structure, invented by Romanian scientist Dr. Eugen Pavel.

Joseph Somers

The images are painted not on a two-dimensional surface but instead on three-dimensional wedges, as one moves, the lines of perspective of this 3-D surface change in a way different from that of a 2-D surface, creating a pleasantly disorienting effect of a shifting, swimming surface.
