FLASH ANIMATION

A Flash animation or Flash cartoon is an animated film which is created using Adobe Flash animation software and often distributed in the .swf file format. It can be created in Flash or with other programs capable of writing .swf files. The term Flash animation not only refers to the file format but to a certain kind of movement and visual style which, in many circles, is seen as simplistic or unpolished. However, with dozens of Flash animated television series, countless more Flash animated television commercials, and award-winning online shorts in circulation, Flash animation is enjoying a renaissance.
Flash animations are typically distributed by way of the World Wide Web, in which case they are often referred to as Internet cartoons, online cartoons, or webtoons. Web Flash animations may be interactive and are often created in a series. A Flash animation is distinguished from a Webcomic, which is a comic strip distributed via the Web, rather than an animated cartoonToday, Flash animations are being more and more widely used in the multiuser community with flash generators and embeded videos in user's profiles across the internet. Many popular remakes are appearing over and over again with the growing success in a less pioneered subject. Youtubes are poping up over the internet with google video and myspace video, and flash generators are too numerous to count. Many of the flash generators are now used for webmasters in menu creators but the dynamic lipsyncing flash characters and font to image manipulators are still the most dominant.

3D DISPLAY

A 3D display is any display device capable of conveying three-dimensional images to the viewer.
There are many types of 3D displays: stereoscopic 3D displays show a different image to each eye; autostereoscopic 3D displays do this without the need for any special glasses or other head gear; holographic 3D displays reproduce a light field which is identical to that which emanated from the original scene. In addition there are volumetric displays, where some physical mechanism is used to display points of light within a volume. Such displays use voxels instead of pixels. Volumetric displays include multiplanar displays, which have multiple display planes stacked up; and rotating panel displays, where a rotating panel sweeps out a volume.
A wide range of organisations have developed 3D displays, ranging from experimental displays in university departments to commercially available displays. Companies involved include Holografika, NewSight, Pavonine, Philips and Spatial View, 3DIcon Corporation, Sharp and SeeReal Technologies.
