Call for Contributions

The Web3D Consortium is always happy to receive proposals for Technology Contributions that might help to advance 3D graphics on the Web.

Experience has shown that dedicated work can get new technology integrated correctly and well. Many approaches are possible, since the X in X3D stands for Extensible. As part of our technical due diligence to ensure interoperability, working groups build and test at least two implementations for any new capability, and at least one of those implementations must be open source to ensure repeatability.

The Web3D Consortium's member-driven process provides a proven pattern for success. Many different companies and individuals have worked together have delivered multiple generations of standards progress for 3D graphics.

The following is a listing of the Consortium's calls for contribution or participation. Submission information for new technology is after the listing.

Overview

Motivation Merits of the X3D Graphics standard include broad generality for many 3D applications. Lots of work has already been accomplished using the X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) standard. X3D has numerous coherent approaches already available that meet author requirements for a general Web-based 3D transmission format. We are working to demonstrate and standardize multiple interoperable improvements in X3D.
