[x3d-public] X3D minutes: X3D Graphics Specification Relationships, request review of Integrating X3D and glTF

[John Carlson]

I saw Nicholas’ BOF talk.  I think if more video capture of X3D could be
used, it would make our technology more compelling.   Follow Meta’s
marketing!

What do I think is next?   Hooking up some of these examples to the web so
i can see them on my Meta Quest 2!

If the capability is there, capture “videos” from VR devices.
