[x3d-public] IEEE Metaverse Congress Open Session Panel Thurs Dec 8

[Daniel Alexandre]

Hello Ronald, Vince and Joe,
I would certainly be interested in participating in a metaverse event
organized by IEEE peeps and also I have been having answered questions for
a long time that seem quite simple and important to address,
namely, what could be the bare minimum size in Gigabytes of a textfile,
let's say using HTML and Javascript for a browser ready for WebGL apps,
that was enough to surf and fly around a 3D model of Google maps that I
like to call "50 Shades of Blank"? Let's say, what do you think could be
the minimum size of a very rough Google Earth where the built environment
was all replaced by rough boxes and 3D rectangles or very regular solids
with a very flat polygonal base like the box used in VRML in files with
extension .wrl that are till possible to be rendered and surfed in very old
browsers that used to be the modern ones? And let's say that you wanted to
skin the roads, parks, desert areas and land and all the facades of all
houses, bridges and buildings with rectangular illustrations saved in the
file format SVG or coded and animated using some simple script and markup?
What do you think would be a quite bare minimum and reasonable size for
such a model of the plant's built environment that could run on a very old
version of Firefox in a single textfile with extension .wrl and please show
all your calculations, estimations and reasoning at least in a very
plaintext draft and sum up of ideas?
Are there any other academics from www.uis.cam.ac.uk/partners other than
Ronald around. I have no sound idea how busy this list may be, is it more
than one thousand people reading this message and questioning? i tried the
W3C VRML mailing-list but it seems is not the same moderator as this one
and is quite inactive these days. Also tied to get the answer some other
ways with the Naked Scientists, from Cambridge University in the UK and
also with StackOverflow, Fiverr and Ask-Crew but not any conclusive answers
as you see: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=85637
