XSeen is a tool for evaluating various features and capabilities of 
declarative VR/3D languages. It is designed to run in the web browser, 
be fully integrated with DOM, and look-like HTML. It is taking much from 
A-Frame and X3D to build an evaluation language that is declarative, DOM 
integrated, and meets the needs of non-programmer 3D developers. The 
entire project, including source code and documentation is open source. 
The project page is at http://xseen.org (currently redirects to 
http://realism.com/xseen) and includes links to the code and 
documentation, project description, and online test cases.

The language is feature rich and declarative. It is not necessary to 
write code to do most operations. It loads, displays, and interacts with 
A-Frame, X3D, glTF, COLLADA, and OBJ files. (Note all features are 
supported in all languages/formats.) The XSeen project was started about 
three months ago and builds heavily on the work of others includes 
THREE, TWEEN, X3DOM, and A-Frame.

This is a development release V0.4 and includes many enhancements over 
V0.3 including navigation, HTML <--> XSeen event handling, and 
split-screen stereographic display. Earlier releases include support for 
geometric modeling, appearance and textures, animation (rigged and 
key-frame), lighting, and environment.

The source code is on GitHub at https://github.com/DrX3D/XSeen. The 
documentation is at http://tools.realism.com/specification/xseen.

I will be leading a Birds of a Feather session - "Discussion on 
HTML-Like WebVR Language" at SIGGRAPH on Wednesday, 2 Aug at 10AM (room 
506). If you are attending SIGGRAPH, please come by and contribute to 
the discussion.
