Abstract
This chapter explores the cultural context in which three-dimensional imaging has been developed, disseminated and employed. It surveys the diverse technologies and intellectual domains that have contributed to spatial imaging and argues that it is an important example of an interdisciplinary field. Over the past century-and-a-half, specialists from distinct fields have devised explanations and systems for 3-D imagery. Successive audiences have found these visual experiences compelling, adapting quickly to new technical responsibilities and seeking new ones. These complementary interests and diverse perspectives have co-evolved in lock-step. A driver for this evolution is visual culture, which has grown to value and demand the spectacular. As a result, professional and popular engagements with 3-D have had periods of both popularity and indifference, and cultural consensus has proved ephemeral.
