Workshop 1: The Future Standards for Immersive VR

The motivation for this workshop was to create shared understanding between the Virtual Reality (VR) and Web3D communities. While the two fields of Web-based 3D graphics and VR 3D graphics have tended to view their technology as different beasts, they have many of the same requirements regarding virtual world content: modeling, lighting, animation, interaction, and direct manipulation. This workshop focused on common interests regarding the seamless access and delivery of interactive, network-based VR content and resources. Presentations and discussions looked at the philosophies and feature sets of various scene graph tools, including ISO-based scene-graph standards such as X3D/VRML in immersive contexts. The principal thematic question examined was: what are common requirements for a data archive format that provides expressive run-time application behavior? Through multiple tool and application examples, contributors examined commonalities and differences between these two important communities, and developed a workable roadmap of cross-community education and common effort.
