  Three-Dimensional Chess
In that case, it would make sense for the fl pieces to be arranged three rows deep on the top level instead of the bottom level, and for the kings and queens of both sides to face each other on the same file.
Unfortunately, the three sides are in a relationship such that one is, in effect, before, and the other is after, the third player, so the array is not symmetric with only two players.
Also, the top and bottom three levels are small rectangles; the green area simply shows where these rectangles stand in relation to the central 5 x 5 square of the five middle levels, so that alignment is unambiguous.

 The Game Of Three Dimensional Eight Level Chess
In the Three Coordinate Algebraic System, the notation of a point is accomplished by naming the three common planes to the point.
The three common planes are Level, Section and Degree; there are 8 of each, and they should always be named in that order (L, S, D).
The three lines on the board in the diagram are the a8 column, the 3d file, and the 76 rank.

 Three-Dimensional Cursor
Here the cursor position defines three intersecting lines, each line parallel to one of the principle axes of the volume (see Figure 1).
This cursor defines the same three lines as in the three-dimensional overlay cursor, except that, instead of drawing the projected lines over the rendered volume, they are effectively merged into the data.
For a maximum voxel algorithm each point along the three lines is drawn or not drawn according to whether the point is considered to be in front of or behind an obscuring feature, using the same depth estimation algorithm used by the two-dimensional active cursor.

 Viewing Four-dimensional Objects in Three Dimensions
The sphere explains to the square the existence of higher dimensional objects like itself, and ways in which the square can understand the form of such objects.
This method of viewing higher dimensional objects as well as others is one way people can understand the shape of higher dimensional space.
A second way to view three dimensional polytopes in two dimensions is by means of a projection.

For example, the space in which we live appears to be 3-dimensional.
We can move up-or-down, north-or-south, or east-or-west, and movement in any other direction can be expressed in terms of just these three.
Moving down is the same as moving up a negative amount.

 Three-dimensional chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This variant is played on three standard 8×8 boards, stacked vertically.
The movements of various pieces have been modified to allow them to move across boards (for example the Cannon must move three spaces in one direction, two in a perpendicular direction and one in the remaining perpendicular).
A variant possibly similar to Star Trek 's Tri-Dimensional Chess is seen in Legend of Galactic Heroes, a Japanese science fiction novel.

 Three Dimensional Hyperbolic Positioning and Synthesizable VHDL Code / GPS satellite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This paper presents the detailed derivation of an algorithm for obtaining an exact solution for the three dimensional location of a mobile given the locations of four fixed stations (like a GPS satellite or a base station in a cell) and the signal time of arrival (TOA) from the mobile to each station.
Some methods calculate the two dimensional position and others the three dimensional position depending on the degree of simplicity desired.
In this paper, a more detailed derivation of a set of equations needed to locate the three dimensional position of a mobile is presented.

 Explicit Links to Three Dimensional Shape
People also appear to have difficulty reasoning about motion in three independent dimensions, so limiting a robot reasoning system to two dimensions for actual motion planning may be an acceptable restriction if human-like performance is the goal.
These two dimensions might be in either a cartesian or polar co-ordinate system, since simultaneous turning and linear motion in the case of screw operation is not a difficult reasoning problem for people.
In three dimensions, there are six types of possible contact: plane-plane, plane-edge, plane-vertex, edge-edge, edge-vertex and vertex-vertex.

 An Unshellable Triangulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The higher dimensional analog of a triangle is a simplex.
In the plane a triangulation can always be built by starting with one triangle and then adding one triangle at a time so that at every step one has a set of triangles whose union forms a polygon that can be continuously deformed into a square (i.e., it's homeomorphic to a square).
Unfortunately, to appreciate this example interactive manipulation to show the three dimensional structure is almost essential.

 The Geometer's Sketchpad® - : Hypercube
This creates a vector—an arrow representing distance and length—by which to move point P. The image of point P as it moves along this vector—P's locus—is a one-dimensional object: a line segment.
So we can create a one-dimensional object out of a zero-dimensional object by translating it along some vector.
But there's a problem: While the image of P translated by three vectors in turn might now look like a cube, it can't be a cube: the screen is flat (two-dimensional), and the picture of the cube lies within the plane of the screen.

Department “A” looked at their processing and determined that by eliminating three steps they could reduce their costs by $110,000 (a 12% reduction).
However, the elimination of the three steps in department “A” had unforeseen, detrimental effects on department “B” - the Rule of Unintended Consequences.
The removal of these steps in department “A” eliminated the ability of department “B” to maintain their quality control program, which resulted in a 9% increase in the number of policies rated incorrectly.

Together with Klaus Westphal, a further algorithm was developed that solves the realization problem for all three classical 2-dimensional geometries (Westphal 1991 and Huson 1996).
In three dimensions, no such simple invariant is known.
In particular, we have clarified the relationship between the geometry of periodic tilings, the topology of orbifolds, and the combinatorics of parameterized Coxeter matrices or Delaney symbols.

 SYMMETRY OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL QUASICRYSTALS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Projection of a regular lattice of higher dimension into the real physical space of lower dimension is a very useful method to construct a model structure of general lattices unifying usual lattices and quasilattices; the well-known examples are one-dimensional quasilattice as a projection from two-dimension, 2D-PT from five-dimension and three-dimensional quasilattice from six-dimension.
The radii along three kinds of symmetry axes and to the edges are tabulated in Table 8.
As a three- dimensional point configuration, they are regardes as 22 vertices of a 30-hedron with bottleneck, among whose 30 faces 10 are equilateral triangles, the other 10 are another kind of equilateral triangles and the last 10 are trapezia.

 Three-Dimensional Sketching
The modeling space is characterized by a noun-verb syntax direct -manipulation interface, using direct mouse control of a crosshair in three dimensions and objects with click-selectable handles to achieve facile editing in three dimensions.
The basic requirements of the create, select, and edit operations don't really change when we jump to three dimensions, and the kinds of visual status feedback provided by the Macintosh drawing tools would be just as invaluable in a three-dimensional model space as they are on a two-dimensional screen.
There is a further difficulty in defining a three dimensional sketch interface by metaphor.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Visualising very large phylogenetic trees in three dimensional hyperbolic space
We introduce the idea of visualising phylogenetic trees in three dimensional hyperbolic space with the Walrus graph visualisation tool and have developed a conversion tool that enables the conversion of standard phylogenetic tree formats to Walrus' format.
These tools lay out trees in a two dimensional Euclidean space and are useful for visualising trees of up to a few hundred nodes.
Some software tools, like Hypertree [6], have increased the number of visualisable nodes using 2D hyperbolic space to provide a "focus+context" view, where a subset of the data can be viewed at higher resolution with the remaining contextual data still in view (see the Deep Green project for an example with plant phylogenies [7]).
