X3D: Extensible 3D Graphics for Web Authors, Vol. 1
by Don Brutzman
Published April 2007
Average Rating: [unrated]
In the early days of the Web a need was recognized for a language to
display 3D objects through a browser. An HTML-like language, VRML, was
proposed in 1994 and became the standard for describing interactive 3D
objects and worlds on the Web. 3D Web courses were started, several
best-selling books were published, and VRML continues to be used today.
However VRML, because it was based on HTML, is a stodgy language that is
not easy to incorporate with other applications and has been difficult to
add features to. Meanwhile, applications for interactive 3D graphics have
been exploding in areas such as medicine, science, industry, and
entertainment. There is a strong need for a set of modern Web-based
technologies, applied within a standard extensible framework, to enable a
new generation of modeling & simulation applications to emerge, develop,
and interoperate. X3D is the next generation open standard for 3D on the
web. It is the result of several years of development by the Web 3D
Consortium's X3D Task Group. Instead of a large monolithic specification
(like VRML), which requires full adoption for compliance, X3D is a
component-based architecture that can support applications ranging from a
simple non-interactive animation to the latest streaming or rendering
applications. X3D replaces VRML, but also provides compatibility with
existing VRML content and browsers. Don Brutzman organized the first
symposium on VRML and is playing a similar role with X3D; he is a founding
member of the consortium. Len Daly is a professional member of the
consortium and both Len and Don have been involved with the development of
the standard from the start.
