[x3d-public] Web3DUX "wannabe" working group minutes 23 OCT 2019: mission statement

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Attendees: Feng Liu, Amela Sadagic, Don Brutzman.  Regrets Nicholas Polys.

We plan to schedule a weekly meeting at 1015-1100 weekly, skipping some weeks based on participant availability. To join please see

1. We worked on mission statement for working group.  Best so far:

==============================================
The Web3D User Experience (Web3DUX) Working Group's mission is to collaboratively establish best practices and standardized capabilities that support rich user experience (UX), intuitive navigation, and effective interaction techniques for a variety of 3D Web technologies.
==============================================

TODO: distinguish navigation and interaction?  Is navigation a subset of interaction?  Check X3D spec...

	Navigation component
	https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/navigation.html

	Pointing device sensor component
	https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/pointingsensor.html

Interestingly different varieties within these terms include

User-Interaction Tasks		Scene Interaction
- Navigation			- Local client only, no influence on other clients
- Selection and Manipulation	- Shared state in local system or on remote server
- System Control		- Local or remote

Curious case: shared state with multiple users viewing and navigating may have no interaction effects on each other or on shared state.

It is a really interesting discussion, as ever there is a diversity of terms and reaching a shared understanding often reveals hidden contradictions and gaining mutual insight.

==========

2. We broached the topic of turntable navigation as an example where best practices have the potential to mature to the level of specification candidates.  For example:

	New ‘turntable’ navigation mode in X3DOM
	https://www.x3dom.org/new-turntable-navigation-mode-in-x3dom

	Navigation Modes - X3DOM Documentation: Tutorials
	https://doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/navigation/index.html

	FreeWRL VRML/X3D browser
	https://sourceforge.net/p/freewrl/mailman/freewrl-develop/?limit=100&viewmonth=201507&viewday=16&style=flat

	Castle Game Engine: Navigation component
	https://castle-engine.io/x3d_implementation_navigation.php

Turntable navigation is a good candidate for some really helpful UX evaluation.

==========

3. Goal next week: continue work on charter, emphasizing specific outcomes and activities.

all the best, Don
