[x3d-public] Hyperlink and form support

X3D does supports responding to mouse clicks on an elements of a 3D scene graph through the TouchSensor node (http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/pointingsensor.html#TouchSensor) , and there is also  functionality of following a URL attached
to a shape in the Anchor node: http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/networking.html#Anchor <http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/networking.html#Anchor>

There is a basic example of the Anchor node on the X_ITE website: http://create3000.de/users-guide/components/networking/anchor/#example <http://create3000.de/users-guide/components/networking/anchor/#example>

I'm not sure what form support would mean in the context of a 3D Scenegraph, but there is a specification for capturing and responding to keyboard presses in the StringSensor node: http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/keyboard.html#StringSensor <http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/keyboard.html#StringSensor>

Can you say more about how you would like to extend the familiar interface patterns of hyperlinks and input forms into the 3D and VR worlds?

With Regards.
