This document discusses the potential for a 3D internet, or virtual worlds. It proposes an architecture for a 3D internet including world servers to provide content, avatar/ID servers to manage user identities, and universe location servers to provide virtual geographical information. A 3D internet could provide immersive experiences through spatial navigation of data and enable natural social interaction between users. Challenges include minimizing latency and ensuring security, privacy, and trust through identity management approaches. Potential applications discussed include virtual reality environments for shopping, socializing, and interacting with internet content in 3D.

 Introduction
 Need For 3D Internet
 3D Internet Architecture
 Performance Of 3D Internet
 Application
 Summary

3. INTRODUCTION
 3D internet also known as virtual worlds, is a blend
of television,social networking and web
 A powerful new way to reach consumers, business
customers, co-workers, partners, and students
 Internet is inherently interactive and engaging
 Provide immersive 3D experiences that replicate
real life

4. NEED FOR 3D INTERNET
 In 2d internet Navigating hierarchical data
structures is often cumber-some for large data sets
 In a 3D world we can navigate between places and
organize objects spatially
 It provides an HCI framework that can decrease
mental load and open doors to rich, innovative
interface designs through spatial relationships.
 Webplace metaphore of the 3D Internet enables
interaction between people in a natural way

5. 3D INTERNET ARCHITECTURE
World servers
 Provides user or server side created, static and
dynamic content
Avatar/ID servers
 Virtual identity management systems
 Contains identity and avatar information of
registered users and provides these to individual
world servers and relevant client programs
 Ensuring privacy and security of stored information.

6. 3D INTERNET ARCHITECTURE
Universe location servers
 Virtual location management systems
 Providins virtual geographical information as well as
connection to the Internet
Clients
 Browser-like viewer programs running on user’s
computers with extensive networking, caching, and
3D rendering capabilities.

7. A GRAPHICAL DEPICTION OF THE PROPOSED 3D
INTERNET ARCHITECTURE

8. PERFORMANCE OF 3D INTERNET
Networking and Distributed Computing
 A hybrid peer-to-peer (P2P) approach to re- duce server load
and ensure scalability of the 3D Internet infrastructure.
 It consists of three types of communications:client to server
(C2S), server to server (S2S) and client to client (C2C)
 Latency Minimization
 3D Internet increases the reliance on graphics and
interactivity, minimizes the latency
 security and Trust
 To handle the authentication information of users’, user
centric identity management approaches such as
CardSpace2 are used
 Allows individual users to retain full control over their own
identity management, without requiring the presence of an
external provider.

9. PERFORMANCE OF 3D INTERNET
Intelligent Environments
 3D internet draws heavily from adaptive and intelligent
algorithms
 Intelligent Services
 Include speech and gesture recognition, but also implies
interaction with virtual objects and tools inspired by things
existing in the real world.
 Facilitate social interaction of users
 Increases usability of core functionalities of the virtual
environments
 Facilitates personalization of individual users’ avatars and
improves multimedia-information retrieval.
 Intelligent Agents and Rendering
 Services are presented and accessible in a natural way
 Improves the quality of virtual clerks and information personnel.

10. APPLICATION
Google's new three dimensional
virtual reality
 Provides a three dimensional
"stereo- vision" virtual reality
called 3dLife
 Google Goggles, an interactive visor
which will display Internet content
in three dimensions
 A 3D mouse lets you move effortlessly
in all dimensions.
 The Space Navigator is designed for
precise control over 3D objects in
virtual worlds

11. APPLICATION
Hands on: Exit Reality
 A hit on a button magically
transforms the site into a 3D
environment that you can walk
around in and virtually socialize
with other users visiting the same
site
5.3 3D Shopping
 It is the most effective way to
shop online
 3DInternet has designed world’s
first fully functional, interactive
and collaborative shopping mall

12. SUMMARY
 Introduction
 Need for 3D Internet
 3D Internet architecture
 Performance of 3D internet
