Plans for Merging X3D AR Proposals

This page is for discussing plans for merging X3D AR proposals, compared in Comparison of X3D AR Proposals.

Plan C: Gun Lee

1. Discuss general strategy/policy/guidelines

• General guidelines in Web3D consortium?
• From the scene writer's point of view, preferably less code for commonly/frequently used features, while detail control available for special cases.
• From the user's (viewer's) point of view, the scene should be adopted to the hardware/software environment (tracker, camera device, browser, etc.) s/he has.

 (i.e. scene writer should not specify hardware/software environment in the scene.)

2. Investigate each functional features stepwise

• Camera video stream image in the scene (texture and background)
• Tracking (including support for general tracking devices)
• Camera calibration (viewpoints)
• Others (color-keying, depth occlusion)

3. Integration of functional features

• Conflicts between individual components
• Merging components

4. Specification writing

5. Review
