My favorite example of digital 3D design is 3D product previews. 3D product previews allow users to interact with the products that they are considering buying. Lenovo has done a great job with this utilizing 3D presentations and animations. Lenovo allows users to zoom in on specific areas of the products and rotate them any way they wish. This gives users a feel for the product. It allows them to shop online in a way that was not possible before. 3D product previews make online shopping better than shopping in the store. Users get the same view of the product with the bonus of product knowledge. This helps lead to a more informed buying.

I can imagine Wade Watts using 3D product preview in an OASIS classroom. This would allow for more in depth learning about biology, chemistry, history, and even math. Imagine a classroom with this technology. The content you are learning pops out of the book. It turns into a 3D design that you can interact with. I believe this is a revolutionary way to learn. It would engage more students. This engagement goes beyond what books ever achieve. We see some of this technology presented in movies. Still, I wonder how long it will be until it becomes the new educational standard.
