<p>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
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://xseen.org">http://xseen.org</a> (currently redirects to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://realism.com/xseen">http://realism.com/xseen</a>)
and includes links to the code and documentation, project
description, and online test cases.</p>
<p>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. <br>
</p>
<p>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.<br>

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.<br>
