I argue that such a virtual shopping scenario
is not possible yet because, until now, modeling
shapes has only been considered a synonym for
modeling the geometry of shapes. That is, the
meaning of objects, their function or intended
usage, and their role in a more complex scene
have been neglected, or at least only considered as
an add-on. Rethinking the whole modeling pipeline
with semantics instead of geometry as a key
driver could help develop novel representations
able to address the challenges of future cyber-physical
worlds.
