[x3d-public] X3D4 Working Group agenda, 20 OCT 2022: discuss possible Avatar strategy

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

X3D Working Group meets weekly for continued advancement of the X3D4
Specifications.

 

*        Meeting time 09-1000 pacific, each Friday

Here is a "new" proposed strategy, trying to say crisply the many essential
ideas that are well known already by active participants in the X3D
community.

 

 

(draft) Avatar Strategy: Open, Interoperable, Personal, Secure

 

No standardized definition for "avatars" is provided in X3D4, but.

 

*        Many alternatives are possible, the "X" in "X3D" is Extensible.
Vive la difference!

*        X3D includes multiple levels of detail (LOD) if progressive avatar
fidelity desired, this is essential for hugely scalable worlds.

*        Most powerful Web3D example design to date:  Silhouette Avatars by
IVN, https://ivn.net

*        Metadata for identity, secure digital signature and even encryption
is possible.

*        Composing 3D scans and motion-capture (mocap) data for full avatar
realism remains really interesting!  Interesting progress continues on this
challenge.

 

X3D Working Group intends to demonstrate whatever avatar definitions are
agreed upon by Metaverse Standards Forum.  We expect to show full matching
Implementation and Evaluation using X3D, learning further what avatar
designs work well.

 

 

Let's discuss please.  All inputs and discussion welcome.
