Abstract
Technology has been used to communicate complex information and brought opportunities for science development and science communication. Three-dimensional representation systems allow design to use image and video in innovative ways and enable organization of more suitable content for effective understanding. This paper addresses the use of three-dimensional representation systems to disseminate complex concepts related to science. We reviewed its course from scientific illustration of natural species, to the use of detailed infographics as direct communication in newspapers. We also undertook visual experiments to demonstrate the use of such three-dimensional representation systems in science communication, and proceeded with an evaluation from experts. This research allowed us to find connections between visual communication and complex concepts coming from science. Three-dimensional representation systems have features which generate benefits for science communication and understanding.
