Hello Alan
I would say, first question is: do you need a standardized multiuser solution per se or do you need the X3D standard just as data format and for the 3D realtime system in a single scene instance (interactivity with a single user)?
If you need standardized multiuser per se, then I would think about DIS component or about Network Sensor. Find more information at
http://www.web3d.org/pipermail/x3d-public_web3d.org/2011-February/001423.html
If you do not need standardized multiuser, then I guess there are a lot of people at this mailing list, who will be pleased to introduce their products to you.
All the best
Christoph

> Hello, I came across X3D in a search for a potential platform for a

> Some issues I have is that the language used to describe X3D features is
> sometimes misleading, an initial reading might make one think it has
> some exciting feature but a more careful examination is that the actual
> feature is much more mundane. =\

> Another issue is that the documentation is difficult to navigate. It

> technological problem at this point. I need to find the
> manuals/documents that will help me do this.
