[X3D-Public] X3D and HTML5 Integration Update

[Anita Havele]

The Web3D Consortium's X3D HTML5 WG recently attended the W3C TPAC meeting
in Santa Clara, California. At this meeting the Web3D HTML5 working group
presented their thoughts and ideas on how to integrate X3D and HTML. Dr. Don
Brutzman presented an overview of X3D graphics for a wide variety of models
and how to establish a solid foundation for X3D to properly support 3D
graphics in HTML5. John Stewart presented a working demonstration created by
the Fraunhofer team led by Dr. Johannes Behr available at:
http://www.x3dom.org and Joe Williams was there to answer any questions on
both HTML and X3D. 

 

In addition to the hour-long presentation, many other conversations and
working demonstrations were given to W3C members during the course of the
TPAC. The Web3D Consortium's work was well received by W3C and the W3C HTML5
WG. The W3C HTML5 working group can be found at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/.


 

We were able to demonstrate a well- proven cross-platform ISO certified 3D
modeling language with event passing to/from the HTML DOM. However, there is
more work to be done to further this effort.  If you are interested in
helping in this effort please contact John Stewart at alex.stewart at crc.ca.
The X3D HTML5 WG meets every Tuesday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST. More
information about the Working Group can be found at X3D-HTML5
<http://web3d.org/x3d/wiki/index.php/X3D_and_HTML5> . We are looking forward
to your participation to integrate X3D and HTML, as this effort has
strategic importance for Web3D and indeed for all 3D graphics.

 

We look forward to working with the Web3D Consortium member community and
W3C to promote X3D as an integral part of the HTML5 specification. 

 

Thanks!
