Mobile gaming and 3D video systems: next generation services for wireless networks

毫无疑问，对于普通消费者来说，移动计算很快就会取代基于PC的计算。世界上已经有超过一半的人口使用手机或其他移动设备，用来浏览互联网的手机比个人电脑更多，普通人更有可能使用手持设备而不是个人电脑来进行各种应用。这是我们从传统的以设备为中心的时代(PC)进入以用户为中心的新时代(普适、环境和移动计算)的自然演变。移动设备现在配备了集成摄像头、3D硬件加速器、快速CPU、大容量内存、蓝牙和WiFi。随着我们从3G网络过渡到4G网络，无线网络也在以更高的带宽和功能发展。与此同时，我们正在见证一种新媒体大众消费的趋势。游戏、3D虚拟/社交环境和3D视频等下一代应用出现了显著增长。据估计，

There is no doubt that mobile computing will soon replace PC-based computing for the average consumer. Already, more than half of the world population uses cell phones or other mobile devices, more mobile phones are used to browse the Internet than PCs, and the average person is more likely to use a handheld device than a PC for a variety of applications. This is a natural evolution as we move from the traditional device-centric era (PC) to a new user-centric era (pervasive, ambient, and mobile computing). Mobile devices now come with integrated video cameras, 3D hardware accelerators, fast CPUs, large memory, BlueTooth and WiFi. Wireless networks are also advancing with more bandwidth and features as we move from 3G to 4G networks. At the same time, we are witnessing a trend towards the mass consumption of new media. There is a significant rise in next generation applications such as gaming, 3D Virtual/Social Environments, and 3D video. It is estimated
