Octaga will develop an X3D plug-in for Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader so that any user will be able to read and interact with X3D content embedded in a PDF document. Using PDF, rich XML-based interactive 3D content be more easily and reliably shared between technical and content developers, marketers, suppliers, and customers.
The X3D plug-in (based on the Octaga Player) will be freely available for all users. Combined with the many free and commercial X3D-savvy modeling and scripting tools available, X3D will be unmatched as a solution for creation and distribution of 3D information, and immersive 3D/2D/audio/video content.
The plug-in will support key X3D profiles and components including the Core, Immersive, Interactive, Interchange and MPEG-4 Interactive profiles. Octaga will deliver a Windows version in Summer 2006, with Linux and Mac versions to follow shortly afterwards.
