It seems interactive 3D objects are becoming more popular for web use. There's also some history in it, and some info on technologies from Nvidia."

  1. True 3D by Francis · · Score: 0, Troll

    As nice as Quake 3 is, it still isn't truly 3D. "WTF, who the hell is this moron! Q3 is 3D!!" you're probably screaming at your monitor, and getting a glare by your family members. But, it's the truth. Its 3D on 2D. The plane of your monitor's screen is two dimensional.

    According to this definition, it still could be "true 3d". Just pick up an ASUS GeForce Deluxe package. It comes with "3D Stereoscopic glasses" that makes everything appear 3D to your eyes. (It uses one of those high-speed shutters, and syncs with the monitor refresh)

    This has been around for a while - I have an ASUS GeForce (original) card with this feature. Who knows how long it was available before then.
