The people at www.foldable.me use css animations for their cool editor 3D editor.

That's certainly in production but I don't know if counts as a "productive purpose".

It is a productive purpose, but a very obvious one — designing a 3D object requires 3D display.

We keep seeing impressive 3D interfaces for regular everyday tasks in sci-fi movies, so I was just wondering whether this way of displaying information actually is useful.
