This document discusses the 3D internet, which combines 3D graphics with the internet to allow for interactive, real-time 3D graphics delivered over the web. It has become possible now due to increased bandwidth and processor speeds. The 3D internet will evolve from basic graphical UIs to fully immersive virtual experiences. It enables applications in e-commerce, education, entertainment, collaboration and data visualization. Examples include virtual shopping malls and Google Cardboard. However, the 3D internet faces obstacles such as complexity, slow acceptance rates, and limited bandwidth. In the future, the 3D internet may make controlling and accessing information much easier.

3. What is 3D Internet?
Combination of two powerful forces
Internet
3D graphics
The result:
Interactive, real time 3D graphics delivered
over the web.
4. Why now ?
Until recently, there were two problems:
slow computers
slow connections
Downloading 3D content took a long time and
once downloaded, it ran very slowly
Quality of the graphics was poor
5. What Is Changed ?
Increased bandwidth
Cable modems
DSL
Fiber to Home
Increased processor speed
2 GHz and beyond
Graphics accelerators
Installed on all new machines
able to provide fast, high-quality graphics
7. Advantages of 3D Internet
Participants have control throughout the
virtual space.
Content is readily available.
Participants have a choice in whether to
interact with an offering.
10. contd…
Entertainment
Multi-player, fully 3D games
Streaming 3D animation (much lower bandwidth
than video, can run full screen, can have
interactivity)
Social Interaction
3D chat spaces
12. Examples of 3D Technology
Google Cardboard:
Anyone putting "the
Goggles“ will be
immersed in a 3D
"stereo-vision" virtual
reality.
13. Contd…
3D Shopping:
3DInternet dedicated years of
research and developed world’s
first fully functional and interactive
shopping mall where users can
navigate and find themselves in a
Virtual shopping environment.
14. Obstacles to success in 3D World
Complexity of the space made it expensive business to
get into.
Slow acceptance
players too large and buggy
bandwidth too limited for serious content
Slow systems to play content in realtime
