My first answer is that the <a href="http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html">British Turning Pages application</a> just wouldn't be the same without 3D.<br /> <br /> Marc Laroche stopped by to talk about another use of 3D in one of Xceed's new controls <a href="http://xceed.com/3DViews_WPF_Intro.html">3D Views for WPF</a>.  Watching Marc move the camera to adjust the display of the data (around 5:25) can give you an idea of where 3D can really be useful.  Simply adjusting the position of the camera offers a new perspective rendered dynamically.  There is no need to pre-render all of the desired views.<br /> <br /> This is great stuff but it feels like just the beginning.  The more accessible we can make 3D, the more we can become creative and effective with it.<img src="http://channel9.msdn.com/429912/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" />http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Continuum/3DViewControlsForWPF/http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Continuum/3DViewControlsForWPF/Sat, 27 Sep 2008 04:54:00 GMThttp://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/2/1/9/9/2/4/TCS3DViews_ch9.wmv49334http://channel9.msdn.com/429912/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Marc Laroche stopped by to talk about the use of 3D in one of Xceed's new controls <a href="http://xceed.com/3DViews_WPF_Intro.html">3D Views for WPF</a>.
