[X3D-Public] Are we still alive? - HTML5

Tue Oct 6 13:24:35 PDT 2009

To see the basis for the next generation computer tools for
SImulation and Visualiztion
just look here.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/gpu_technology_conference.html

See the videos.
The last generation of this technology kicked the current capability
by 10. This next one, only a few yaears later will do X10 again.
Simulation and Visualization. DPTF in nD!
Just what we need to solve some of the great challenges.

>> gettiing consistent behaviors between browsers using the <object> 
>> element in HTML and XHTML and advancing the idea of 
>> 'namespace-awareness' defined in both HTML and XHTML to provide 
>> extensibility by 'Inline' user code in both environments.

>> If I have a personal mission besides those, it is to get the

>> replace all applications of <embed> and offer an organized api and

>> (microdata and/or RDFa) and finally DOM3. Ooohh! and don't forget 
>> the amazing Canvas2D and Canvas3D elements and the great 
>> connections with WebGL and O3D and X3D.
