It seems like X3DOM and X_ITE are already handling some events differently. Likely this will drive a deathstrike to the standard if events aren’t standardized. Browsers will all go invent their own event types, and content won’t play across different browsers. If we adopt HTML5 as a way to create events, that is *<b>independent</b>* of X3D browser, that might be a way to go.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This really needs to be looked at carefully. One reason that X11 failed to capture the games market was they didn’t get sound events coordinated with graphics events in time. I do not know if this is still an issue with Linux.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am pretty sure there’s already a way to coordinate things in time with timestamp. I am not sure how many browsers use the timestamp in events. We may need to coordinate events across the network for the NetworkSensor.
