Problem
Video search is in its infancy and current models for video search are extremely inefficient. Most search tools do not yet allow “birds-eye-views” of vast numbers of videos. As the amount of videos and other media assets such as essays, research, and user generated music continues to grow, traditional search tools will not be enough.
Scenario
What if you are not browsing for a single video with a known title, but rather, you are browsing to see the “universe of videos” with the tag, "Second Life". Using current traditional search techniques such as Google or You Tube, a keyword search for “Second Life” would take you hours, days or even years to sort through the 4076+ results on You Tube or the daunting 474,000,000 results on Google. And even once you have done so, it might be hard to see the relationships of the videos to each other much less remember where the videos were located.
Due to the way our brain is built and the fact that we live in a 3D world, our ability to remember 3D spaces and navigate 3D spaces is highly advanced. As a result, 3D search can be more efficient than 2D search in certain situations such as browsing large datasets.

one problem may be that 2d videos distorted to look 3d could be harder to see unless the user is wearing 3d goggles or in a virtual world.
