According to an aspect, an example method may use one or more processors and memory for receiving data from a storage device. The method may also include changing at least one parameter of the data to match at least one characteristics of a target display device. Further, the method may include sending the manipulated data to the target display device via a network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: using at least a processor and memory for: receiving data from a storage device; changing at least one parameter of the data to match at least one characteristics of a target display device; and sending the manipulated data to the target display device via a network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the network is the Internet. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the data is three-dimensional content, and wherein changing at least one parameter of the data comprises adjusting depth parameters of the three-dimensional content based on the at least one characteristic of the target display device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting depth parameters comprises adjusting depth parameters of the three-dimensional content based on one of preferences of a viewer and a distance of the viewer from the target display device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the target display device is an auto-stereoscopic display, and wherein the method further comprises creating multiple synthetic views for displaying data on the auto-stereoscopic display. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising adding supplemental information to the sent data for augmentation purposes. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving services from one or more other external entities. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving requests from a client; translating the received requests; passing the translated requests to a server in a form that the server understands; and receiving, at the client, a reply from server. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising providing an open interface for development of custom applications. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising of one of a storage module and a processing module to facilitate data sharing among different websites ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising of the smart gateway proving only a translation function to facilitate a direct connection between the servers and the clients. ### Claim 12 A system comprising: at least a processor and memory configured to: receive data from a storage device; change at least one parameter of the data to match at least one characteristics of a target display device; and send the manipulated data to the target display device via a network. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the network is the Internet. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the data is three-dimensional content, and wherein the at least a processor and memory are configured to adjust depth parameters of the three-dimensional content based on the at least one characteristic of the target display device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the at least a processor and memory are configured to adjust depth parameters of the three-dimensional content based on one of preferences of a viewer and a distance of the viewer from the target display device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the target display device is an auto-stereoscopic display, and wherein the at least a processor and memory are configured to create multiple synthetic views for displaying data on the auto-stereoscopic display. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the at least a processor and memory are configured to add supplemental information to the sent data for augmentation purposes. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the at least a processor and memory are configured to receive services from one or more other external entities. ### Claim 19 A computer program product comprising: a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising: computer readable code configured to receiving data from a storage device; changing at least one parameter of the data to match at least one characteristics of a target display device; and sending the manipulated data to the target display device via a network. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the data is three-dimensional content, and wherein the computer readable program code further comprises computer readable code configured to adjust depth parameters of the three-dimensional content based on the at least one characteristic of the target display device.
