 Introduction
● The Internet is evolving to become the de-facto cyberspace or virtual environment
facilitating communication, business, and entertainment on a global scale

● The Internet we are familiar with is filled with web pages, images and graphics that have a
2D existence

● Time has come to upgrade the Internet itself to a much sophisticated, interactive and
ubiquitous network

● 3D Internet is poised to replace the 2D Internet

3
3D Internet
● 3D Internet is a combination of Internet and 3D graphics

● Result of such an integration would be interactive and real time 3D graphics all
delivered through the web

● 3D Internet includes interconnected services, displayed as virtual worlds

● 3D Internet is a visual area where the user can experience real-world scenarios

● 3D Internet is highly interactive and engaging

● Powerful new way for users to reach consumers, business customers, partners, students
and colleagues

4
Why do we need 3D Internet?
● The evils of the current Internet can be given the following:

❑ Time wasted due to mouse movement

❑ Non-interactive web pages

❑ Slow speed of working

❑ Failure representation of certain images and 3D graphics

● So the current technology is less efficient and needs to be replaced

● Solution to these problems can be installed on 3D Internet

Evolution of 3D Internet

Web Web Web

1.0 2.0 3.0

7
Web 1.0

• First model of Internet

• People could only read content online provided by a small number of

developers

• Users couldn't upload or provide their content to other peers at this stage

• This can be simply termed as “read only” form of Internet

8
 Web 2.0

• Everyone can contribute to the web

• Rich user interface and built in class graphics

• This can be simply termed as “read-write” form of Internet

9
Web 3.0

• Raw data is processed and converted to information by the Internet itself

• Data can be integrated and applied in innovative ways that were never possible
before

• Gave birth to the most-awaited future internet

• This can be simply termed as “read-write-execute” form of Internet

10
Architecture of 3D Internet

11
World servers
● Provide user or server-side created, static and dynamic content making up the specific
web place (3D environment)

● Includes visuals, physics engine, avatar data, media and more to client programs

● Coordinates the co-existence of connected users, initiating communication between them,

and ensuring in-world consistency in real time.

● Facilitate various services such as e-mail, instant sagging, and more

12
ID /Avatar server
● Virtual identity management systems containing identity and avatar information as well as
inventory of registered users

● Provides the information to individual world servers and relevant client programs

● Ensures necessary privacy and security of stored information

● Part of world servers

13
Universe location servers
● Virtual location management systems which are somewhat similar to the current DNS

● Provides virtual geographical information as well as meta information to connect to the

Internet

● Act like a distributed directory of the avatar servers, world, and users

Clients
● Browser like viewer program running on user’s computers

● Extensive networking, caching, and 3D rendering capabilities.

14
 Methods of Implementation
• Software Approach

❑ Depth Perception and Artificial Intelligence

❑ WebGL

• Hardware Approach

• Using VRML technology

15
Software Approach
Depth Perception and Artificial Intelligence
● Depth perception allows for conversion of 2D images into 3D

● It can understand the difference between two colors, depth of two objects with the help of
sensors

● Capable enough to understand if a still image is being displayed, if the objects in it are
near the observer or away from it

● Artificial intelligence will be required for the latter implementation

● It will decide the extent to which the users on the client side experience the 3D effect

16
WebGL (Web graphics library)

● It is a JavaScript library for displaying interactive 2D and 3D content on compatible

web browsers without the use of any plugins

● Capable of transforming static visual variables of shape, texture, size, color,

orientations, value and overall presentation of information into a 3D virtual space

● Provides a mind-blowing experience and function as a great data visualization tool

17
Hardware Approach
● Anaglyph Glasses
It consists of glasses of chromatically opposite colors like a combination of cyan and red.
When used as a pair of glasses with different colors on either side they send two separate
images to the viewer to create a stereoscopic image

18
● Polarized Glasses
3D visuals are achieved by projecting two images simultaneously, one horizontally and
other vertically polarized which causes a 3D effect.

19
● Shutter Glasses
Stereoscopic image can also be created by blocking the view of one eye at a time and
repeating this at very fast rates.

20
 VRML Technology

● VRML is the Virtual Reality Modelling Language, a system for describing 3D scenes on the Web

● It allows a browser to produce the illusion of a three dimensional environment

● First thing we need is a VRML browser, to view our worlds, as well as other peoples
e.g.: Cosmo Player

● Next we have to create our own worlds. There are two ways of doing it :

❑ we could use one of the many VRML authoring tools

❑ the other way is to code it by hand

21
File structure of VRML technology

VRML files contain:

• File header

• Comments - notes to ourself

• Nodes - nuggets of scene information

• Fields - node attributes that we can change

• Values - attribute values

22
