One certainty is that bandwidth and processor speed will improve. The amount of information and detail that can be transferred will definitely increase.

Many exciting Internet services have failed because they were ahead of their time, so clearly an endeavour like MapMerge must scale with technology.

Presently we have Google Maps/Earth, and with increased bandwidth we can definitely achieve more information being passed through these platforms.

The use of avatars and 3D wire models will mean that bandwidth will not be a limitation.

With time and technology, avatars and 3D wire models might be replaced with reality, although I suspect we will choose to be less real than that.

Fortunately 5G mobile data is coming soon.
