Abstract
The driving forces for 3D Internet technology seem to be focused on 3D images and tessellated shape representations. Consequently the 3D representation is voluminous and the user quality of experience lags far behind the one of installed 3D applications using higher order shape representations.As wireless data transmission consumes much energy, compact higher order shape representations will be more energy efficient and have much to offer to future 3D Internet applications especially for mobile devices.
