[x3d-public] Better Viewpoint examples/clarifications?

[Leonard Daly]

Tony,

I have read the replies from Max and Doug. Their answers were how to 
interact with various X3D browsers to go from one viewpoint to the next.

When developing the specification, the X3D WG explicitly chose not to 
specify how to provide that interaction because of all of the different 
kids of devices that might be used to view X3D content. The thought is 
that browsers builders in conjunction with users would standardize on a 
mechanism for Viewpoint navigation or the content author would provide a 
mechanism to do so that was appropriate for the content.

If this was not your question, can you please restate the issue so 
someone can answer it?

Thank you,

Leonard Daly
