Abstract :
Systems supporting the visualization and animation of algorithms, programs, and computations have focused primarily on two-dimensional graphics to date. We identify the benefits and the drawbacks of using three-dimensional graphics in these types of systems, and describe how 3D imagery can be used for visualizing computations in interesting new ways. We also present examples of 3D computation visualizations created with a new toolkit that we have developed. The toolkit has been extended to run in a virtual environment and we describe our early interactions with it
