Devices for communication between computers, such as modems and network cards, typically perform both input and output operations. Any interaction with the system by an interactor is an input and the reaction the system responds is called the output. The designation of a device as either input or output depends on perspective.
Input devices permit the users to give directions and commands to the system, while output devices allow the machine to present information back to them. 3D interfaces have been used in applications that feature virtual environments, and augmented and mixed realities .
