  • Abstract
    The 3D browser gives users access to the technology´s benefits, is a critical part of the 3D Web. 3D browser software performs complex calculations of the perspective, shading, and other features necessary to give a rendered image or object a three-dimensional appearance. Proponents say the addition of a third dimension to Web browsing would result in better visualization and analysis of financial, business, and scientific data; more effective training; more entertaining browsing and game playing; and better viewing of products for sale via e-commerce, a critical factor in selling items that online shoppers can´t interact with physically
