[x3d-public] LinkedIn post, blog entry on Characters Town Hall

[Don Brutzman]

I've posted on LinkedIn a summary and link to a blog entry on my website.

   - "Humanoid Animation #HAnim and #X3D Standards: Capabilities and
   Prospects" video and presentation are now available.
   - Joe D Williams <https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-d-williams-416887/> and
   I presented an overview and progress report on Web3D Consortium
   <https://www.linkedin.com/company/web3d-consortium_2/> standards
   development work as part of Metaverse Standards Forum
   <https://www.linkedin.com/company/metaverse-standards-forum/> Characters
   and Avatars Town Hall on 19 November 2025. Additional presenters included
   representatives from Qualcomm
   <https://www.linkedin.com/company/qualcomm/>, Meta
   <https://www.linkedin.com/company/meta/>, VRM Consortium with The
   Khronos Group <https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-khronos-group/> glTF
   graphics, and Pixar Animation Studios
   <https://www.linkedin.com/company/pixar-animation-studios/>.
   - As described and demonstrated, current HAnim working group activity is
   bringing rigorous, validatable, and practically repeatable HAnim human
   models online using Web standards. Development of multiple open-source
   tools and converters are demonstrating author-defined model poses,
   interactive behavior interpolation, BVH-style motion animation, archival
   metadata, and even anatomical correctness. All HAnim example models are
   published online using the Web-viewable X3D Graphics standard. Full blog
   post follows with links to video and presentation.

   - *Humanoid Animation (HAnim) and X3D Standards: Capabilities and
   Prospects*
   - Joe D. Williams and Don Brutzman, 9 NOV 2025
   - Our contribution to this town hall shows 25 years of steadily
   advancing efforts by dedicated members of the Web3D Consortium Humanoid
   Animation (HAnim) Working Group. Current activity is bringing rigorous,
   validatable, and practically repeatable HAnim human models online using Web
   standards. Development of multiple open-source tools and converters are
   demonstrating author-defined model poses, interactive behavior
   interpolation, BVH-style motion animation, archival metadata, and even
   anatomical correctness. All HAnim example models are published online using
   the Web-viewable X3D Graphics standard.
   - Special thanks to Aaron Bergstrom of North Dakota University for
   several of the nine interactive Web demos that are linked in the
   presentation briefing, playable in any Web browser.

Once again thanks to everyone contributing to the preparation of this
brief, and the years of cooperative work everyone has contributed getting
to this level of accomplishment.  Totally impressive.

Have fun with HAnim and X3D!  😀 👍

all the best, Don
