3D Games

What are 3D Games?

3D Games refer to electronic games that use three-dimensional computer graphics and modelling to create a virtual three-dimensional environment and imagery. This allows 3D Games to more realistically represent spatial relations between virtual objects.

Virtual worlds and game objects are rendered and represented in three dimensions with height, width and depth. This provides a more realistic 3D visual experience compared to 2D games.

Some 3D Games support stereoscopic graphics to take advantage of 3D displays and virtual/augmented reality headsets for an even more immersive 3D environment. Game objects like characters, vehicles, weapons, landscapes etc. are designed and modeled in 3D computer-aided design software to have volume, surface area and realistic textures.

Characters and objects are animated in 3D space using techniques like skeletal and morph target animation to enable realistic movement. Players can freely explore and interact with game environments, objects and systems in three-dimensional virtual space.

Best Advantages of 3D Games

3D Games require and help develop 6 cognitive skills like spatial abilities, strategic thinking, hand-eye coordination, creativity as well as STEM skills, while also providing stress relief through immersive escapism.

• Spatial Skills

Successfully navigating 3D game worlds requires spatial skills like depth perception, spatial relations, mental visualization etc. This challenges such cognitive abilities.

• Strategic Thinking

Many 3D Games involve strategic thinking, complex problem-solving, tactical planning and decision making to overcome obstacles or achieve objectives.

• Hand-Eye Coordination

Action-oriented 3D Games help improve hand-eye coordination as players learn to map real-time controller inputs to precise on-screen actions.

• Creativity

Some simulation or sandbox style games allow creative exploration and expression through building, designing or role-playing in 3D virtual worlds.

• STEM Skills

Educational 3D Games can teach STEM concepts like physics principles, 3D modeling, engineering etc. in an engaging manner.

• Stress Relief

The immersive escapism of 3D gaming can provide a fun way to relax and reduce stress or anxiety for both kids and adults.
