A. Summary and Technical Reports

 

                Siggraph / Web3D 2016 Conference

 

For the FF Video the submission date is unclear, specified in different
locations as 27th May and 27th June. It was decided to submit to meet the
first deadline. Then if the longer deadline is valid we have another month
to resubmit. 

 

                It was reported that the Siggraph program video has been
released, available at https://t.co/5m1f2Hj7pX.

 

                Also note that early registration deadline if Friday 3rd
June.

                It was agreed we need to reach out to Fraunhofer for more
participation in regular meetings. Should aim for once a month, at a regular
slot.

An X3D player showcase video lasting 60 seconds should be generated,
compiled from the best YouTube clips from authors. The video could be
publicized both on web site and at conference. It would be consistent with
FF video message of many players with wide content. It would be made
available to members by putting on YouTube, with the flag set to public but
not advertised. Then the link would be sent to members.

Reviewed the example above in different players. Submitted Coin3D snapshot.

Submitted ExtrusionEdgeCases.x3d example that combined the three cases in
the wiki page into a single scene. This was updated with the addition of
metadata/comments, viewpoints, and some tidying up to simplify and improve
the presentation. This example will be added to the example archive.
