# 3D Graph Calculators The Casio PRIZM is Set to Make Life Easier for Statistics Students By Michael Hines | Published 2010-10-13 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-prizm References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/casio-prizm-color-display-graphing-calculator/16625/) & [casioeducation](http://www.casioeducation.com/prizm) I really wish that the Casio PRIZM had come out before I started my current semester of classes. This [graphing calculator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocketcalc) is designed to display information and graphs as they would appear in textbooks. The Casio PRIZM is loaded with [55 different colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datacolor-spectro-55) and 40 different preloaded images to help [make graphing easier to understand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphy). The Casio PRIZM will sell for $129 as of January 2011, just in time for the spring semester! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Graphing Calculators with Book-like Display:** Creating graphing calculators with features that mimic textbook displays. - **Colorful Graph Visualization:** Introducing vivid colors and images to enhance graph visualization. - **Affordable Powerful Graphing Calculators:** Developing low-cost, high-powered graphing calculators for students ### Where This Applies - **Education Technology:** Providing advanced tech tools to enhance education and make learning easier. - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovating the electronics industry by developing calculators that create a book-like display and provide unique user experiences. - **Mathematics Education:** Developing math education materials and tools that make math less intimidating for students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collector-Edition Retro Calculators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-15c-collectors-edition.md) - [Minimalist Golf Range Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Golf-Laser-Range-Finder.md) - [Classic Calculator-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-ca53wb.md) - [Animated Learning Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calcplay.md) - [Interactive Math Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visual-percentage-calculator.md) - [Intelligent Grade Calculators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-grade-calculator.md) - [Smart Calculation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipad-calculator.md) - [Customizable Calculator Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designable-calculator.md) - [Stationery-Friendly Calculators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-calculator.md)
