There are many ways the uses of 3D technology can be applied to every day life and through this blog I will explain further into the science behind 3D and how it is adapted to suit and benefit different industries. 3D technology is an image or model being displayed over 3 dimensions hence 3D meaning the user can see depth, this effect is to make the model look as if were real.
Film industry
3D is used to create images that
appear to be “coming out of the screen” 3D films are very common now. For a 3D
image/film to be made, each eye has to see a slightly different image which the
brain then interprets and merges it so we see an image with depth. As shows
below the 3D image is made when wearing glasses as each eye of the glasses only
lets an image through if its either vertical or horizontal ( one eye lets in
one or the other ) Lenticular works the same however it is in black and white
as it is a red and blue. One example of one of the most iconic 3D films is Avatar, this film at the time was the most expensive film to make and creatively used 3D to make box office record breaking film.
Gaming industry
Many modern games that are released are
now 3D. The science behind it is very similar to films however there are device
made such as the Nintendo 3DS the first handheld 3D gaming device that does not
require glasses however this trend has not continued. Many games are now in 3D
such as: Need
for Speed: Shift,
Call
of Duty: Black Ops,
Battlefield
Bad Company 2
and Tomb
Raider Underworld. Super Mario is a game that displays a transition from 2D to 3D gaming, this can be seen in early Mario games with 2D backgrounds and a 2D Mario to the modern day Mario games with far more complex 3D backgrounds and characters. Another feature that has changed is the interaction required from the player to complete the game, due to consoles such as the Nintendo Wii and games such as Mario Kart a 3D background comes as standard on almost every game now. A visual example of this can be seen below, this image displays the first Mario and the most recent Mario and the evolution of the graphics, detail and the added dimension.
TV Industry
Samsung is the most common manufacturer
in 3D televisions. 3d TV’s are very expensive pricing in at over £850 for a 55”
TV. According to statistics in the UK only 1 in 10 people us their 3D TV.
Company's such as sky have a whole channel dedicated to 3D however there is a
limited choice as it only shows football matches, documentary's and films. One example of a 3D TV show is Darren Brown's 3D magic spectacular.
Product design industry
3D design is useful in the modern as it can be used to save time, this is because before 3D design software was invented a 3D prototyped wound have been hand crafted which is very time consuming however with 3D software, minor adjustments can simply be changed in a matter of seconds rather than having to reconstruct a whole new model. After the model has been designed it can be 3D printed, from there final last touches and adjustments can be made before a product is produced.
3D in web design
3D can be used in web design in many
different ways, one of a
3D feature is
holographic text. This effect is created by adding depth to the 2D text after
the user scrolls over it, this is a very effective/interactive feature that
could attract more users to the website.
3D has had a big impact on medicine in many ways, one way is false limbs, by using 3D technology 3D limbs can be constructed using 3D technology and also can be 3D printed. Also procedures such as mammogram can produce a 3D image used to diagnose patients with cysts and lumps, the 3D image will allow the doctor to see the size and therefore severity of the cyst.
3D applications in Education
3D has had a big impact on learning in education, through the use of DLP (digital light processing) technology 3D projectors can be used to enhance students learning. 3D enables students to see images such as cells in different ways. Typically a 2D image would be shown however being a cell this is an object that many people will never see in real life and this is why 3D is important. The student will be able to view a cell from all angles enhancing their learning experience. This can have a big impact on learning and education as the image will be precise and enhance their learning as it will be a more realistic experience.
