[x3d-public] "Let's rename everything the Metaverse!”

[Joseph D Williams]

➢ perhaps we could think of things as streamed over space,

Or, perhaps we could think of time as streamed over space. 
Maybe a set of time stamped events streaming through spacetime so that 
Same place same time 
sameplace different time  
different place same time  
different time different place  
different time same place 

Streaming X3D. All ya gotta do is stream the scene context and its interactions in the ‘correct’ sequence. Or stream a script that then gets executed to produce events in the scene. Mainly, before you stream a geometry, you must first tell it where to place it in the scene and define its interactions, then you can stream the geometry. 
Is it fundamental that an x3d browser basically is set up so that it can accept a stream of data that gets processed by the browser to build and update the scene, and then the browser can stream the scene to what interaction device(s), and also to stream data of status and commands to other browsers and whatever.

It is normal to think of things as streamed over time, but perhaps we could think of things as streamed over space, that is, fixed geometry?

Is a document something that is streamed over space, too?

Hmm.

I think the first step may be to advance a streaming World Wide Web. That is,  immediate mode, not structured mode.

We have two types of serializers in X3DJSONLD, one that looks like a hierarchical document and one that looks like a list of commands.   We just need to advance XML and other encodings into streaming.   I believe this has been done with StAX as well, but I don’t know the details.

Can streaming be done with documents?

The world is not a document, AFAIK.

Note that you can do networking in user space to advance the number of connections on a server.

What is a “scene”?   Do we need emitted and collected object ids?

“Abstract – almost every online game is being renamed as a portal to the Metaverse. All of these different Metaversi are currently not capable of sharing your friend’s list, your avatar or any in-game experience you have had - this needs to be engineered in from the start for the Metaverse to succeed.”

Enjoy!  As he requests, also please have a transcendent day.
