Proposals for adding efficient network streaming to X3D Aug 30, 2005
The X3D member community is actively working on Amendment 2 for X3D and UI. Several proposals have been made for handling including I/O streams from networks and devices. StreamingSensor Component proposal develops a set of generic I/O nodes in a portable and efficient way. The EventStreamSensor proposal enables the efficient sending and receiving of events via a network connection such as a TCP/IP socket. EventStreamSensor acts as a high speed gateway between a network stream and the X3D event graph so routes can be set up to/from EventStreamSensor. You can review some of the use cases for network streaming such as multiuser chat. Consortiums members can comment on these proposals in the X3D list. Non member can comment using the X3D-Public mailing list or in the Public Message Boards
