<p class="MsoNormal">While reviewing preparations for SIGGRAPH and Web3D 2021 materials, found an important omission from our X3D Standards Relationships diagram: W3C Web Audio API.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposed revision attached. Slightly simpler, also refactored XR-related specifications to upper-right corner as future work on X3D 4.1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Equivalent expressive power between all file encodings and all programming languages is powerful. Enabling consistent creation and import of X3D models in whatever form, then publishing to the Web via HTML5 or 3D printing or whatever,
is a tremendous capability enabling X3D Anywhere. Interactive 3D interchange can indeed be a “first-class media type” on the Web.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All review welcome. We will consider all comments, review SIGGRAPH progress and then publish next Friday 13 August at 10-1100 during our regular weekly X3D Working Group meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
