I thing the 2D and 3D browsing environment should be reciprocal to be most effective. But I couldn't find this described yet, and I can imagine this is viewed and tackled another way.</div>

The situation we envision is when XR glasses will be commonly used to access 3D websites that have similar possibilities for businesses as the current 2D sites. This means that 3D website builders should be able surround a (part of a) text, an image or a 3D
object with an anchor. Also one needs normal text fields, radio- and checkboxes etc. for users to be able to fill-in their choices and post back to the server.</div>

<div>X3D does supports responding to mouse clicks on an elements of a 3D scene graph through the TouchSensor node (<a href="http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/pointingsensor.html#TouchSensor">http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/pointingsensor.html#TouchSensor</a>)
, and there is also functionality of following a URL attached</div>
<div>to a shape in the Anchor node: <a href="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</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is a basic example of the Anchor node on the X_ITE website: <a href="http://create3000.de/users-guide/components/networking/anchor/#example">http://create3000.de/users-guide/components/networking/anchor/#example</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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: <a href="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</a></div>

<div>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?</div>
