Abstract

In the evolving landscape of computing, the integration of three-dimensional (3D) technology has revolutionized various industries, from entertainment to healthcare. “Computers in the 3-D World” explores the transformative impact of 3D computing, focusing on how advances in hardware and software are enabling new forms of interaction, visualization, and simulation. The study explores the key technologies behind this transformation, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), 3D modeling, and 3D printing. It also emphasizes the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in improving and personalizing 3D experiences. Through case studies and examples, the study demonstrates the broad applications of 3D computing in fields like gaming, architecture, medical imaging, and design, while also considering the challenges and ethical implications of this new frontier. As we move further into the 3D world, the potential for innovation is vast, and the study concludes by examining the future directions of this technological evolution, from immersive environments to the intersection of 3D computing and the metaverse.

Keywords: Metaverse, real time, intellectual property issues, physical and digital worlds, visualization
