[x3d-public] X3D meeting agenda 28 July 2022: X3D4 Scene Access Interface (SAI) review

[John Carlson]

So far, I have two comments on the SAI NWIP.   The SAI standard should be
responsive and readable by people losing their sight; the SAI standard
should be readable on various mobile devices.

Two,   the metaverse standards should be at least readable in the metaverse.
