3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3-D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images.
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is a specific-technology or application of computer graphics for creating or improving images in art, printed media, simulators, videos and video games.
Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith (1863–1935). An illustration is a decoration, interpretation, or visual explanation of a text, concept, or process, [1] designed for integration in print and digitally published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines, books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films.
PDP-11 CPU board. Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), motherboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, and computer case.
Vacuum-tube computers, now called first-generation computers, [1] are programmable digital computers using vacuum-tube logic circuitry. They were preceded by systems using electromechanical relays and followed by systems built from discrete transistors.
The EDVAC as installed in Building 328 at the Ballistic Research Laboratory. EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers.
The history of computing hardware spans the developments from early devices used for simple calculations to today's complex computers, encompassing advancements in both analog and digital technology.
