Conclusions.

Thank you!

Provided an overview of the concept 3D Internet

Discussed the motivation behind it and specificresearch directions in the fields of networking, security,distributed computing, and machine learning.

At this point in time we are facing a unique opportunityfor the evolution of the Internet towards a much moreversatile, interactive, and usable version: the 3D Internet.

There are still many research challenges on the way

We can use the existing hype as a driver of research andrealization of 3D Internet
