[x3d-public] X3D and VRML for multiuser worlds

[Christoph Valentin]

Hi Cecile,

Just to explain, why I am asking:

Till now my opinion has been, that the IoT consists mainly of sensors, which are rather lightweight computers/controllers just implementing very simple protocols (MQTT), consuming rather little bandwidth (on the other hand, they are many).

On the other hand, the virtual workspaces / 3D graphic enabled systems are rather high end systems capable of rather sophisticated protocols and causing high bandwidth consumption.

So up to now, my opinion is that the "two worlds" - IoT and 3D Web - cannot be smoothly integrated, there must be some "mediator device" or "gateway" (I call it ITR - Interface to Reality).

Could you comment on that? I am really curious to hear your opinion and the opinion of the community. 

Kind regards
Christoph

Hi,
 
Isn't MQTT the protocol of the IoT?
 
It needs a broker, doesn't it?
 
Just being curious.
 
KR,
Christoph

Good morning (and happy new year !),
 
 
If you want to build something multi-users, nowadays I'd recommend MQTT: it's not specific to 3D,
so you'd still need to create the application on top of it, but you could reach both applications and webapps
with it (it can even run on low-end devices), and it's a proper documented standard.
Mosquitto on a small linux server is enough to get started,
or you could use something like PubNub to not worry about scaling the backend.
 
 
See you,
