Pushing the Envelope – 3D Tech
An interesting article by Olga Kharif highlighting that 3 of BusinessWeek.com’s annual Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs specialize in 3D applications. Kharif stipulates that the 3D paradigm is advancing due to the fact that even low-end laptops can now run 3D. Software developers are using 3D to allow people to navigate large amounts of data (Cooliris), and new approaches of taking 3D to the world wide web, rather than being isolated in a single virtual world (Sim Ops). The companies featured don’t seem to be radically game changing, however reinforce a shift to integrating 3D as part of daily processes and operations, rather than as a escape, which is a step in the right direction.
