Hello everyone! I'm project lead of Castle Game Engine, an open-source 3D and 2D game engine with a visual editor, powerful API, using modern Object Pascal.I wanted to announce a new feature in our engine: we support now the IFC model format! Not just for games
:) -- our engine and tools can be used for general applications, like 3D visualizations, as well.</div>

Nicholas described the importance of reducing dependencies on file formats, rather "the Web is Services" and therefore connections/mashups/editing/conversions on demand are what we are really enabling. This insight helps us sort out how to best proceed with
our X3D standardization efforts... not redefining the universe, rather we continue making it easier and easier to connect diverse 3D assets using X3D. Such perspectives are central to the efforts in related work by the following group, led by Nicholas Polys
and Johannes Behr.</div>

So... Wow! Thank you Michalis for again-amazing work and a tremendous session! There is much opportunity for Web3D members - and indeed everyone - if we can unlock Building Information Models to have full-fledged Web presence using X3D.</div>
