Abstract. Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics is the open standard for real-time 3D communication. Developed by the Web3D Consortium and certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), X3D is a royalty-free file format and run-time player specification that is compatible with many 3D technologies. X3D is also designed for reuse of content and archivable publication, making it particularly well suited for government use. Attendees in this hands-on workshop will use several tools and applications for networked X3D virtual environments. Finally a 10-point "report card" will assess X3D suitability readiness for federally sponsored online virtual worlds.
- Polys: X3D: Extensible 3D ISO Model and Scenario Interchange provides a 30,000' overview of X3D and the Web3D Consortium
- Brutzman: X3D Progress and Prospects provides technical summaries and business-case rationales
- Polys: 4D (X3D + timing) presentation on Medical Working Group and Medicine Meets Virtual Reality (MMVR)
- Brutzman: X3D Report Card for supporting federal use of Online Virtual Worlds
- Colleen: RayGun Virtual Environment with live in-world Raygun demo between Washington DC participants and David at SFO Airport and multiple posters
Also provided to attendees:
- Web3D Consortium Flyer and Web3D Consortium Membership information
- X3D Showcase DVD filled with a wide variety of introductory resources. X3D can help you accomplish your real-time 3D graphics challenges.
- Brutzman: X3D + HTML5 Interoperability working group efforts, including the plugin-free X3DOM player
- Brutzman: X3D-Edit Authoring Tool for hands-on editing of X3D scenes and to demonstrate Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol
