As a curiosity, I’m blogging today about X3D-UML, a thesis X3D-UML: User-Centred Design, Implementation and Evaluation of 3D UML Using X3D undertaken by Paul McIntosh involving the measurement of benefit in extending the Unified Modeling Language (UML) using the eXtensible 3D specification (X3D, the successor to VRML) to create 3D UML diagrams.
The idea was to see whether a 3D visualization helped the comprehension of UML diagrams. They didn’t reach any definite conclusion but they created some videos as the one below so you can decide by yourself
By the way, as unbelievable as it sounds, this is not the only “UML in 3D” tool. We talked about another (very preliminary) prototype here .
