For 20 years, the Web3D Consortium has developed and maintained a
open, royalty free, ISO ratified and well documented standardized
markup language for transmitting and displaying 3D content on the
web called X3D. As 3D content creation and use is now fast becoming
democratized by significant advances in software and hardware, the
Consortium wants to continue to evolve the standard to protect
content creators from vendor lock-in and high value and archival 3D
content from file format obsolescence.<br>
<p>We would like to know:</p>
<p> 1: What features and/or functionality are missing from the
current standard (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

2: Who or what groups you think would best benefit from this
standard (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
