Web3D at Siggraph 2010

Date: Jul 26-Jul 29, 2010

Location: Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles CA

Overview

SIGGRAPH 2010 the biggest graphics industry gathering is just weeks away! and Web3D Consortium will be showcasing innovative X3D content and applications. X3D remains the most robust and versatile open standard for implementation of high- integrity and capability 4D multimedia information spaces. With multiple encodings and API bindings, it is compatible with many web and industry technologies. The data integration capacities and the rich set of componentized features is rapidly expanding X3D’s value across markets from mobile, AR, CAD and medical. Come see our innovative community of content and application developers that ensure interoperability, longevity and ownership of your content. See the latest real-world interactive 3D applications and find out how you can build and protect your content investment in this ever-changing competitive market.
Attend our popular tech talk with over 10 presenters showcasing their innovations and our informative Tutorials and BoFs. Take a break from the show floor and join us at our reception and network with leading Web3D technologist. Vist our booth #1024 and meet our member companies and see their X3D product demos. A must attend event!!! SEE YOU AT SIGGRAPH 2010.

Web3D Events

Date & Time	Title	Meeting contacts	Room
Tuesday 27, July 12:30 pm- 2:00 pm	ACM SIGGRAPH Carto BOF Annual Meeting(X3D-Earth) Description: ACM SIGGRAPH Cartographic Visualization Project Birds of a Feather Meeting* The ACM SIGGRAPH Cartographic Visualization (Carto) BOF explores how viewpoints and techniques from the computer graphics community can be effectively applied to cartographic and spatial data sets.	.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)	287
Tuesday 27, July 2:00 pm- 3:30 pm	Web3D CAD Working Group Description: The Web3D Consortium’s CAD group will hold a BOF meeting at Siggraph to update the community on recent developments in the X3D standard. These include a pipeline from Collada to X3D that preserves BREP structures. Several routes from popular CAD tools will be demonstrated to show how to get your CAD data to the web. If you care about how to get CAD data to web visualization systems then join this group to see the latest updates from the consortium.	.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)	301 B
Tuesday 27, July 3:30 pm- 5:00 pm	X3D and HTML5 Description: The X3D and HTML Working Group is for the purpose of best integrating X3D with HTML. The goal is to make the native authoring and use of declarative XML-based X3D scenes as natural and well-supported for HTML5 authors as the support provided for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and Mathematical Markup Language (MathML). This effort has strategic importance for Web3D and indeed for all 3D graphics, since X3D is an interchange format for a wide variety of models. We intend to establish a solid foundation for X3D to properly support 3D graphics in HTML5.	.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)	301 B
Wednesday 28, July 10:30 am-12 noon	X3D Medical Working Group Description: The X3D Medical Working Group (MWG) focuses on developing a standard for 3D medical images on the web based on the X3D standard, and has proposed a draft extension to the X3D specification to include volume rendering capabilities to view these images. Join us for a discussion and demonstration of MedX3D (the proposed X3D profile for viewing 3D medical images), the MWG’s activities with the DICOM standards organization, a review of the volume rendering extension to X3D and the future projects of the MWG.	.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)	301 B
Thursday 29, July 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM	Web3D Member Meeting Description: Come meet Web3D consortium members and network with some of the leading experts in Web3D technology. Learn more about member benefits and the X3D standard and how you can contribute to Consortium specifications before public deployment.	.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)	301 B
Thursday 29, July 3:00 PM- 6:00 PM	Web3D Korea Chapter Meeting Description: The Web3D Korea Chapter will discuss their current initiatives on the X3D specification: H-Anim motion data definition, X3D mobile function and X3D e-Learning.	.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)	301 B

Web3D Tech Talk

Wednesday, July 28 from 3:30 - 5:30 PM Location:

X3D: X3D: Delivering New Dimensions on the Web

Siggraph 2009 Web3D Tech Talk Podcast

The Web3D Consortium celebrates a decade of innovation and interoperability in Web3D technology. This year at SIGGRPAGH 2010 in Los Angeles, the Web3D Tech Talk will showcase Web3D Consortium’s standard X3D, the only open, royalty-free and ISO-certified technology available today for interactive 3D graphics on the World Wide Web. Join a large innovative community of content and application developers who see this standard as the future for deployment of real-time 3D graphics applications. The Web3D Tech Talk is always a popular event at Siggraph, attended by over 300 conference attendees. Last year we had standing room only. Use of X3D systems has increased steadily throughout the world, delivering durable applications in industry, science, medicine, culture, entertainment and education. Indeed, worlds and scenarios authored over ten years ago still run today and are faster than ever.

If you have incredible and innovative cross platform X3D or VRML content, you may be invited to be a speaker to discuss and demonstrate your products at this Web3D Tech Talk on Wednesday, July 28 from 3:30 - 4:30 PM at the Los Angeles Convention Center - Exhibit Hall floor. You will have 10 minutes to present your work and the tools used going from your concept to the final product. Send your proposal to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) by July 9, 2010.

Participation is open to all consortium members. Prospective presenters are invited to submit their proposal for review to the Web3D consortium selection committee. Submission must include:

Brief abstract of your presentation.
One page summary of your X3D content/innovation.
Link to your X3D content or screen shots.
Preliminary slide set of your presentation not exceeding 10 minutes.

Important Dates:

July 9: Submit your X3D content and Presentation to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
