everything is moving to be web content. Most of it is displayed in
browsers, but there are also Web Apps (see

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Once I used Visual Basic to wrap BS Contact with my own
little GUI application, which was quite easy given you had
access to Contact SDK, but seems to be deprecated by Microsoft
now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then I used HTML pages to wrap BS Contact, which seems to
be deprecated by Mozilla et al now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, what is the most portable way to wrap an X3D Player
(not only BS Contact) by some small GUI application of your
own?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or should I have "everything within the scene" and "never
use external GUI", using X3D Players in standalone without any
wrapper?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or should I wait for X3D v4 to have no X3D Player at all,
just W3C Browser, and do the wrapper in HTML/JS?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any hint welcome. Time does not matter, but I need a
"final" perfect solution. Do not want to change the things
every two years.</div>
