1.	X3D 2023 goals.  Our primary activities for X3D Working Group in
2023 are focused on broad and correct deployment.

 

a.	Encourage consistent rendering, interaction and usage for the many
tremendous capabilities in X3D4.
b.	Update ISO specifications and implementations for multiple
programming languages and file encodings to match X3D4.

 

2.	Focus: X3D 4.1 feature discussion.

 

Many possibilities!  The "X" in X3D is Extensible, so pursuit of further
evolution is an essential part of our design.  We benefit from (but are not
limited by) ISO stability, since implementers can experiment with innovative
practices and also match Web3D Consortium recommended practices.

 

a.	Near term: resolving Sound component differences with Web Audio API.
Some noted issues will likely get deferred as X3D 4.1 issues.
b.	In progress: HAnim2/X3D4 additions for site names, poses, and
clothing to provide support for apparel.
c.	Expected: glTF 2.0 is normatively matched in X3D 4.0 specification.
Emerging glTF extensions are candidates for group adoption and X3D 4.1
standardization.
d.	What else? What's next?

 

Wishing best progress.  Have fun with X3D!  8)

 

all the best, Don
