X3D to the Rescue

2010, August 6 - 14:08

With the Web3D Conference and SIGGRAPH 2010 behind us, one question on everyone’s mind is – “when will the 3D Web be ready for everyone?” And “where does X3D fit in this evolution?”

The 2010 SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles gathered 3D graphics and web developers from around the world. Whether the company was a start up or an industry giant there was mention of 3D Web in their present strategy. But it seems that 3D adoption is slower than predicted. Why? The issue here is extending 2D processes to 3D and making them easy…

The New Paradigms of Scientific Visualization

2010, June 10 - 17:02

The COLLAVIZ project team has organized a workshop on 16 June, 2010 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the TER@TEC 2010 conference to discuss New Paradigms of Scientific Visualization. Web3D consortium’s Dr. Johannes Behr, Fraunhofer, Germany will present the X3D interchange format as one of the Scientific Visualization Norms and Standards.
As a real decision-making support tool, scientific visualization faces new paradigms. With scientific tools multiplication and their respective evolutions, questions regarding 3D exchange formats norms have risen and must be addressed. X3D, Collada or VRML are examples (among many others)…

AR in a box – An X3D solution

2010, June 7 - 20:57

The Web3D Consortium will be presenting at the ARE2010 Augmented Reality Event, taking place June 2-3, 2010 - Santa Clara Convention Center, CA.
The Web3D consortium will have a special interest group meeting in Room 204 on June 2 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM with AR application developers and industry leaders interested in using open standards. Come see our AR heroes developing X3D AR applications, meet these trend setters and see how you can get involved in outlining a roadmap for open standards in AR.
