Hi Guys,

I understand your concern, and yes, 3D is not a panacea. But there are some studies that show when it is also displayed in 3D stereo path following tasks can be more efficient than in 2D. Not a universal thing, but some hints.

I think to a large extend it also depends on your display device. Just displaying a 3D model on a 2D screen is not going to be much better. My display device is a little different: http://assets.inarkansas.com/66594/ualr-vr2-110.JPG ;)

But thanks for the answer!

In my opinion that is the kind of thing you see in movies, but is hardly
useful in the real world. A network that looks like a huge hairball in 2D
will also look like a hairball in 3D.
