The late 1990s and early 2000s marked a period of rapid innovation in PC gaming. With the release of graphics cards like the 3dfx Voodoo and advancements in rendering technology, PC games like "Quake" and "Half-Life" pushed the boundaries of 3D graphics and introduced players to immersive, first-person experiences.

The transition to high-definition graphics and the introduction of advanced shading techniques elevated the visual fidelity of 3D games.
In recent years, the advent of VR has taken 3D gaming to new heights. Devices like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive provide players with immersive experiences, allowing them to step into virtual worlds. VR technology has not only enhanced gaming but also opened doors to applications in education, healthcare, and beyond.
