Subject: [x3d-public] Preliminary Announcement for XSeen

The latest version of XSeen (V0.3) has been pushed to GitHub. It includes initial work on Animation. After looking at many different kinds of implementations of 3D animations, I concluded that getting the developer involved in the rendering pipeline for each frame was not needed, nor desirable. X3D though the use of events for each stage of the pipeline does put the developer in the "loop" and forces inefficiencies, especially for pre-defined (key-frame) animations.
While XSeen does not yet offer full key-frame animation (just start/end points + transition style), it does illustrate how to do key-frame animation without the developer in the middle of each frame. This structure does hint at how the developer can get access when needed.
In addition to code updates, there is now an XSeen project page (http://realism.com/xseen) where all of the test cases are listed. Each test case can be executed from the web page and displays as an overlay. 
* XSeen project page: http://realism.com/xseen
* XSeen code on GitHub: https://github.com/DrX3D/XSeen/tree/development
* XSeen language definition: http://tools.realism.com/specification/xseen/language-definition
* XSeen internals documentation: http://tools.realism.com/specification/xseen/xseen-internals
XSeen is built upon the architecture of X3D and A-Frame. The JavaScript library is supported by THREE and TWEEN plus pieces extracted from X3DOM. John Carlson provided the JSON to XML converter. It is early-stage work and not everything is fully developed out or functional. Please report any issues you have with the software or documentation. Contributions are always welcome.
