It’s not about X3D; it’s about synthesizing simplicity of life’s data complexities



Contexts, Constructs and Concepts

• Temporal context [109 sec/century]
– For natural persons this means from the moment you are conceived (pre-
natal or fetus) to the last data generating event with your corpse (post-
mortem)
– For governments and corporations this means from the moment it is
declared a legal person (i.e., established) to the moment it is no longer that
legal person (i.e., disestablished)

Trusted Agent (e.g., Guardian, Executor) maintains life graph until you can




• Monetary context [105 < transactions/century <1015]
– For citizens this includes the transactions (i.e., trades, sales, exchanges)
performed on your behalf while you are incapable to financially transact (i.e.,
confinement, infancy, senility,…imprisonment, etc.)
– For corporations this means all the transactions kept or recorded in financial
receipts, records and statements
– For governments this means all the transactions kept or recorded in
financial receipts, records and statements

<10-min/item to record metadata into well-formatted files, records and/or books




• Spatial context [1012 GTINs]
– 3D Graphics (Volume and surface Geometry—X3D Scene graphs)
– 3D Acoustics (Aural and Audio—OpenAL)
– 3D Haptics (Touch and Tactile—H3D)
– 3D Semantics (Taxonomy and Ontology—OWL)

Senses for taste and smell are beyond the scope of X3D graphics extensibility




• Enterprise is a construct
– Humans [109]
• Citizens
• Aliens
– Corporations [107]
• For or Not for profit
• Manufacturer or Service Provider
– Governments [106]
• Federal, …national, tribal
• State & Provincial
• Municipal & Local

Enterprises will secure, share and/or sell their life graphs




• Natural resource as a construct
– Geosphere [109 units]
• Surface [109 parcels]
• Subsurface [106 deposits]
– Hydrosphere [106 bodies]
• Inland [106 running | standing]
• Outland [104]
– Atmosphere [104 sectors]
• Controlled [sectors]
• Uncontrolled [sectors]
– Spectrum [106 bands | channels]
• Regulated [<3 x 1012 Hz]
• Unregulated [>3 x 1012 Hz]
– Biosphere [1010 species]
Environmental data streams & repositories linked or stored to render life graph




• Human Anatomy is a construct • Human Behavior is a construct
– Tissues [104 types] – Physiology [104 functions]

It’s all about your body!




• Trade item is a concept
– Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
Goods [1012]
–
• For enterprises
• For natural resources
• For services
• For goods
Services [106]
–
• For enterprises
• For natural resources
• For goods
• For services

GTIN 14-digit number system uniquely identifies ~ 10 trillion items




• Ontological model is a concept
– A model for 1012 global trade items possible in chains of supply, value and
customer
• Links exist between chains of supply and value (enterprise resource programs)
• Gaps exist between chains of value and customer (paper receipts at registers)
– Metadata
– 3D …Data

… model and AI maintenance will drive costs of Life Graph software TOC




• Life Graph is a concept
– Mirror World
• …Parcels, persona and products in 3D
• Enterprises plan in 3D…
• Enterprises see present in 3D…
• Enterprises review the past in 3D…
– Money maker
• Plans are worth $$$
• Property snapshots are worth $$$
• Past storylines are worth $$$

Life Graphs are enterprise’s files, records and books on steroids!




• Blue Ocean Strategy is a concept
– Connect …chains
– Catalyze …cycle times
– Commercialize …confidential…

The Blue Ocean will be life graphs. The Strategy is galvanizing their trade.



Content, Chiefs and Containers

• Life’s insights are in its information and integration
– Life Graphs do not exist in 3D per se
• Life logging is NOT life graphing!
• Neither plans nor ongoing projects found to size the storage required
– CIOs focus on TOOLSETs not DATASETs
• Ask a CIO how much INFO was created…destroyed today and tell me…!
• Software, hardware, netware’s availability, policy, usage, configuration, etc.
– Storage required is anybody’s guess
• On-line vs. Near-line vs. Off-line configurations
• Mobile, desktop and racked storage and processing solutions

1 KB < item …graph < 100 MB; 1 M < lifetime items < 100 B; 1 GB – 10 EB

X3D Substitutes, Scaling, Satisfaction

• Other scene graph options exist but…
– Proprietary or not standardized
– Tools are immature
– Have to build a run-time engine for it
• XML binary addresses large models and thin pipes on networks
• All scene graphs today suffer from constraints when they get big
– Spatial view (overloading the tree concept)
– State (state optimization vs spatial coherence for fast culling)
– Semantic (namespaces)
– CPU considerations (instruction and data cache misses)
• Working Groups addressing hot topics to keep pace

X3D postured for WWW-scale growth but the potential new wealth is disruptive…


Enterprise Section: The Blue Ocean I see and a Blue Ocean Strategy for success

Mirror Worlds, Time Machines and Life Graphs
Citizens – Natural Persons with a Digital Lifestyle

• Keeping meticulous financial files, records and books takes discipline
– Paper receipts prevail…payment card company categorizes for you but…
– Electronic receipts via email/browser common for online transactions only
• Customer chains not linked...Costs too…Value not…
– Manufacturers
– Service providers
• Ignorance is good for business
– Rate of action not matched by rate of accounting, filing, bookkeeping
– Too much effort to analyze (cumulative) effects of diverse behaviors
• Partial software solutions for citizens to get Single Integrated Picture
– Planned, possessed and past trade items in one database
– Quicken, MS Money, etc.
Not enough time inspecting before expecting what’s best or just stopping…



Corporations – Legal Persons with ERP / MRP Systems

• Radio at the register
– Securely transmit X3D files at checkout
– Shoppers’ 3D purchase plans powerful incentive
• Recruit at the root
– Securely immerse in a VE to interview person; investigate Life Graph
– Recruits can roam the company’s halls worldwide virtually
• Recognize returns on investment
– Customer relationship management
– Employee satisfaction and contribution
– Investor confidence

Corporate America can accelerate customer dynamics with cutting edge X3D…



Governments – Legal Persons with ERP / MRP Systems

• Visions of the Feds, States and Locals
– National Land Parcel Data
– Electronic Health Records
– …Identity Management
• Interoperable Systems
– CBRNE Emergency Response
