A website does what we cannot do- it brings a three dimensional world into a two dimensional plane, but what if we could see the world in its entire three dimensions? The first few steps have been taken with 3D web site design projects like Google Lively & Exit Reality and till now it's been a story of more misses than hits but the day is not far when the 3D world would invade our two dimensional browser space. Till now three dimensional graphic tools have been used to attract attention of the visitor to a website. But in the future, with just a few clicks of a button you would be able to transform your entire web experience into 3D. Just imagine viewing and interacting on 50 billion webpage's worldwide in 3D and at no additional costs! You'll be a part of every website you visit in the virtual world. The design would also allow you to meet and chat with people you meet in 3D and allow you to have a virtual personality or avatars.
There are several benefits of working on 3D online web designing projects.
Web site design projects based on 3D technology will make it easier to have face to face interaction with other users/visitors on any website.
Users generally spend few minutes on a 2D website but on a 3D website the time spent is more than half an hour as user tends to explore the website. This extra time spent on a web page can be leveraged by the marketers for ecommerce. The Job of 3D animators and designers would be to create an environment which has a commercial purpose.
Since, 3D online web designing projects are not bounded by a two-dimensional space; designers are able to recreate objects, compositions and other constituents of a 3 dimensional world. This freedom increases the chances of a website to effectively convey its message, and hence can staggeringly improve serviceability.
The benefits of 3D outweigh the negatives but going by the fate of Google's Lively, there is still a long way to go. The issues of privacy & several other complexities must be addressed first but going by the rate at which technologies are developing, the third dimension does not seem far.
