3D and media Internet Sample Clauses

3D and media Internet. The Internet of 3D Media will not only radically change the entertainment industry, but it is also expected to stimulate and enhance creativity, productivity and community relations in the professional sphere. User-generated/centric content as well as community networks and the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are expected to generate new business opportunities. This will be made possible by: 29 xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xx/fp7/ict/future-networks/publications_en.html • the interaction of content combined with interactive search capabilities across distributed repositories and P2P networks (also mobile); • the dynamic adaptation to characteristics of multiple terminals. Innovative applications such as massive multiplayer games and virtual environments accessible also on mobile devices will emerge. These environments hold the promise of a "3D Media Internet" revolution forming the basis of future networked and collaborative platforms in residential and professional domains (including creation, delivery and rendering), in virtual/gaming applications, and in digital and electronic cinema. The evolution of "3D Media Internet" is determined by (i) an increasing participation of users (User Generated Content), (ii) by the use of new forms of media (3D Virtual Environments) and (iii) by the need to find the content people are looking for (Multimedia search). Media experts have identified some challenges to the diffusion of 3 D environments. They are: • lack of ‘true’ interaction between the users and the media. This problem is essentially caused by the restrictions imposed by limited network capabilities (e.g. bandwidth, time delay, latency, etc.); that preclude a full appreciation of the immersive media applications relying on the deployment of 3D virtual environments; • lack of efficient multimedia search and retrieval mechanisms; • the lack of truly collaborative environments and lack of ‘emotional communication’ among users and communities; • Lack of intelligence, ability to adapt to the users’ preferences, devices and access networks. Many technological challenges exist, as: • mechanisms embedded into the network to ease the personalisation, adaptation, accessibility and search; • protection and the enforcement of intellectual property rights of user generated content; • facilitation of a smooth transition from 2D content to 3D content; • Support for the user participation in 3D content generation and fruition within enhanced 3D collaborative environments; • emp...
