Alvarez,: A future perspective on the 3D Media Internet

Abstract. The Internet is a living, dynamic “wizard ” who is constantly and rapidly evolving, reshaping and transforming and consequently it is changing our social and economic world. However, Internet was designed and primarily used by scientists for networking research and for exchanging information. The current form of Internet cannot efficiently serve future needs raised by the exponential increase of the available cross-modal content and ensure consistency and correctness in terms of media storage, distribution and consumption, along with options to navigate, interact, search and retrieve this content. In this paper we make an attempt to identify the main barriers posed by the Current Internet and analyse major issues and challenges which is expected to be the pillars of the Future 3D Media Internet
