 3D computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3D computer graphics are different from 2D computer graphics in that a three-dimensional representation of geometric data is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images.
3D computer graphics are works of graphic art that were created with the aid of digital computers and specialized 3D software.
However, 3D computer graphics relies on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer graphics.

To achieve sufficient generality without burdening the developer with drawing individual pixels, the API needs to be at least at the abstraction level of drawing static 3D objects on command.
The volumetric imaging part of the JSR are not relevant to this JSR, because lightweight 3D content will be represented as polygonal data rather than volumetric data.
The API shall be defined such that implementations on that kind of hardware are feasible.

That figure hardly puts it into the same league as the PSP for 3D performance, but it's the first time that a Nintendo handheld has featured hardware accelerated 3D, and should open up significant new possibilities for games on the device.
The one-page specification summary, written entirely in Japanese, also provides further confirmation of many things we already knew about the DS, which has recently been revealed to have the codename 'Nitro', although it's not clear whether that is purely a development codename or if it will find its way onto the final product branding.
As, indeed, should the other two revelations on the leaked document: the inclusion of Wi-Fi and of a touch panel input device.
