3/4 Perspective View (This type of illustration looks more "natural" than an Axonometric View.)

From 2D to 3D

In the 1822 paper "On Isometrical Perspective" Farish recognized the "need for accurate technical working drawings free of optical distortion. This would lead him to formulate isometry. Isometry means "equal measures" because the same scale is used for height, width, and depth".[4] Was the first to provide rules for isometric drawing. The concept had existed in a rough way for centuries.

Where does the word isometric come from?

Historical aspect

Optical-grinding engine model (1822), drawn in 30° isometric.

Q*bert from 1982 was one of the first games to use isometric graphics.

Knight Lore from 1984 is considered to first define the genre of isometric adventure games.

Head over Heels.This game is parodied in the DVD release of The IT Crowd series one. In the DVD menu system, a game very similar to Head Over Heels, but with characters from the TV show, is played while you choose an episode.
