{{short description|Form of human-machine interaction}}

In [[computing]], '''3D interaction''', also known as '''3D human-computer interaction''', is a form of [[human-computer interaction]] where [[User (computing)|users]] are able to move and perform [[Human–computer interaction|interaction]] in [[Three-dimensional space|3D space]]. Both humanthe user and machinethe computer process information where the physical position of elements in the 3D space is relevant.

The 3D space used for interaction can be the real [[physical space]], a [[virtual space]] representation simulated on the computer, or a combination of both. When the real physical space is used for data input, the human interacts with the machine performing actions using an [[input device]] that [[Positional tracking|detects the 3D position]] of the human interaction, among other things. When it is used for data output, the simulated 3D virtual scene is projected onto the real environment through one [[output device]].
