Applications Of 3D:

3D In Games:

3D in games has been developing ever since it started in 1974 with the game Spasim which added a new axis into the gaming world allowing the previously flat world has now been sprung to life and the first sense of realism and opportunity started. However this didn't feel like a full game, it looked more like a tech demo showing off that a new era of gaming has begun. In 1980 the game flight simulator was released and this game had created a 3D landscape which had now been seen before, people only witnessed 3D objects. 3D in games was able to be developed even further due to technology becoming move advanced in it's capabilities.

Games became more 3D with almost no 2D objects in them at all and with the most realistic graphics making it so that you couldn't tell weather it was a game or not. Such as "The Last Of Us" and "GTA V"

3D In Film And TV:

One of the first films to use 3D graphics in their films was Jurassic Park with 3D rendered dinosaurs that were computer generated but look incredibly real. This was created to try and get people interested in cinemas again as their popularity was declining due to the TV. 

 

There isn't much to say about the use of 3D on the TV other than mostly every single show on TV is 3D because the technology to do so has become easily accessible to every source of media if possible.   

3D In Education And Medicine:

 The use of 3D in education isn't as popular as you would think even though it has a lot of benefits. This is a 3D rendered rat showing all the bones and the organs contained inside. The model can be rotated in every direction. With this you could teach students about anatomy, organs, bone structure and many other things.

The use of 3D in medicine is rapidly improving allowing doctors to create replacement hands, skin and even skulls. At the rate this use of 3D is improving and this use actually makes peoples lives better and could even save lives. I personally feel that this is the best use of 3D and should be a priority to advance even further.

3D In Engineering, Architecture And Product Design:

The use of 3D in all these areas are more or less similar. It is used to create a 3D model so you can see what the product will look like before you create it. In engineering you can see how the piece of machinery will work and if there is any clear design flaws that could make the machine malfunction. In architecture this is useful for measurement and to also give your client a first person view of the property to see if they are pleased with the size or certain rooms and what it looks like but to also tell you what needs changing. Finally in product design this is similar to architecture in the way that it allows your client to look at the product before you produce it.

  

3D Printing:

3D printing may have started out as something impossible but today 3D printers can create almost anything from food to working guns. This technology has opened up the world to more creativity and flare, as this technology further advances more impressive things can be created.
