[X3D-Public] Open-Source Multi-User

[Dave A]

I worked with flux/vivaty most, contact second, cortona third. Vivaty was closest to the Spec, although that can sometimes be cumbersome. Contact has many niceties for getting into the scene, but so far, listening to events out is more challenging, at least for javascript, not even sure it works in non-IE page.
I would love to help develop a set of JS classes that wrap the various implementations. Then you could write to that API and not worry about the underlying differences. In theory.

I put the 2 players side by side on a webpage and then created a number of buttons to perform some External SAI functionality and see how the two browsers compared in handling the SAI commands. The website is

You can view the SAI source code for each of the tests by performing a view -> source in your HTML browser when the above web page is loaded. At the time I created the website the browsers would load automatically if they were not present on your system, however I think that the FLUX browser has moved to Vivaty and may not load automatically anymore.
