3D user interface on 2D display is a technique for displaying 3D user interface using a traditional 2D display, like a computer monitor.
It involves using 3D-rendered images using depth cues that are within the image only, like shadows and relative size. This technique was championed by Apple in Mac OS X's Aqua interface, particularly in the Dock on Mac OS X Leopard.
