Graphjacking 

The act of graphjacking (a derivative of the word hijacking) is taking any two dimensional graphing app or system and turning it into a three dimensional graphing system or above. Graphjacking does not require three dimensional equations and can be done with simple two dimensional geometry, as all 3D+ graphics we see on computer screens are in a fundamental sense 2D. Skilled graphjacking requires an understanding of visual perspective and also vector geometry.
