[x3d-public] X3D doesn't need plugins, right?

[Leonard Daly]

Hi iam,

At the time of writing the book, X3DOM wasn't available. The only way to 
view X3D content was through a web browser plugin or a stand-alone 
application (e.g., Xj3D). Since then (2007), X3DOM and X_ITE were 
released that allow the handling of X3D content in the browser. A lot of 
other 3D applications and functionality separate from X3D have also been 
developed/released. You are not limited to just using various types of 
X3D libraries to display 3D content in a web browser.
