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

These are the steps we will take as a process of merging the X3D AR proposals:

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. In other words, scene writer should not specify hardware/software environment in the scene, which is on the users' side.

2. Produce a merged proposal for each functional components Investigate each functional features stepwise:

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

3. Check Integrity of the merged proposal

  • Check and resolve conflicts between individual functional components
  • Merge overlapping features between individual functional components

4. Specification writing

5. Review
