The Potential of 3D Apps (1 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5) Loading ... |
The concept of 3D media is not a new phenomenon. The idea has been around for decades and has been utilized in movies and video games for years. But why is it still a widely-appealing, highly marketable concept? It’s because 3D brings whatever we’re seeing or interacting with closer to the way we perceive reality. And although “3D” games and movies are visual deceptions, they bring the media closer to the world which we, the users, are actually a part of. Until recently, 3D media has been limited to the silver screen and expensive gaming platforms. The iPhone and the relatively new iPad provide new and unexplored ways of using 3D technology. Never before have users had the opportunity for so much 3D interaction. Both platforms give users direct visual and manual access to something that before had been at a distance to them. This is also new for developers who need to make their 3D apps as intuitive and appealing as 2D apps. Because these are uncharted waters for both users and developers, the future of 3D apps is uncertain. But since this form of display is so interesting, it’s worth speculating about the path that such apps will follow.

Simple were the times when reality was exactly as we saw it. Now, apps are introducing augmented experiences to what’s right in front of our face. By utilizing the iPhone camera, many apps enable you to see things that aren’t immediately there, be it stores and restaurants in the nearby areas, information about your surroundings, or explosions of cars you see that you don’t particularly like. These “augmented reality” apps show what’s there in conjunction with what’s not, and could very well be the future of how we perceive reality, by enhancing it with information, fabrications, suggestions, others’ feedback, and advertisements.

Craigslist is many things to many people. For some it’s a marketplace where anything and everything they need is at hand (for a price); for others it’s a dark place that hides within it shady, underhanded, and often times disturbingly hilarious dealings. Whatever it may seem to people, the one thing that is certain is that it has become a major phenomenon on the internet. Whether you’re looking for something to buy, some help, or someone to talk to, Craigslist will have it covered, making it one of the most widely appealing websites out there.
