*	Oct 9-11 in a hybrid format (in-person and online), San Sebastián, Spain
*	Towards interconnectivity of Metaverses.  The purpose of the 28th International ACM Conference on 3D Web Technology (Web3D 2023) is to study and share the principles and the latest advancements in connected 3D universes. Provide navigation metaphors that allow users to move seamlessly from one virtual world to another.
*	The goal of the conference and of the Web3D community, which has a rich history of developing technologies that enable the creation, transmission, access, interaction, sharing, and visualization of 3D universes. Bringing together a diverse group of individuals to share innovative and influential thoughts on how the metaverse can revolutionize the future of communications. This includes topics such as 3D applications and services accessible through a wide range of devices, from simple mobile phones to more complex systems such as AR/VR headsets, and heavily populated virtual worlds, especially those connected through high-speed, low-latency networks.

Subject: [x3d-public] basic instructions about X3D

 

Hi all,

 

A friend asked me for advice about basic X3D knowledge.

 

I have to admit, I am not sure what I should answer, so I have collected a few questions and hope for your answers :-)

 

Q1: how do i brush up my website with 3d graphics, the easiest way (but it should be future proof)?

Q2: the most recommended resources on the web (wikis, blogs, websites, social network pages (facebook, twitter, ...))?

Q3: the most recommended books / e-books?

 

Thanks,

Christoph
