[X3D-Ecosystem] X3DOM/X_ITE/Castle Content Preview in RawKee X3D Exporter for Maya

[John Carlson]

For example, here’s my JavaScript server that uses socket.io events:
https://github.com/coderextreme/JSONverse/blob/main/Multiplayer.js

I’d like to discuss standardization of X3D collaboration events, which can
be use WebSockets, WebTransport, HTTP polling, etc. underneath.

I’m not trying to replace Zoom, I want to exchange X3D events and scenes
over the network.  No texting, voice, no video, no screen sharing, as these
are already handled.  JSONverse has a basic chat for debugging.

This may be relevant for sharing orientation and position:
