The expansion in 3D instrumentation - obtaining spatially resolved spectra over an area of the sky - on large telescopes has been phenomenal over the past few years. Examples at ESO on the VLT are SINFONI, the Integral Field Unit (IFU) of VIMOS, the Argus mode of FLAMES; at Gemini the GMOS instrument has an IFU mode; OSIRIS is soon to reach Keck. There are also powerful consortium instruments such as SAURON and CIRPASS which were designed for rather specific problems. Several new tunable filters will see first light this year and sterling work continues to be carried out by facility IFU instruments on 4 m class telescopes such as at La Palma (INTEGRAL) and Calar Alto (PMAS). Accompanying this leap in instrumental capabilities, the volume of data delivered is set to increase as larger or multiple IFU's are planned, such as the MUSE or KMOS instruments for the VLT.
