In order to tap the rich potential for networked virtual spaces, content designers need standards that provide better capabilities to access, manage, and use a wide range of input devices, as well as more expressive power to describe novel interaction techniques. The goal of the X3D User Interface Working group is to push the X3D specification far enough so authors can write their own custom techniques for navigation, selection, manipulation, and visualization and that their techniques can be adapted depending on the I.O device or platform used and the user’s preferences.
The component specification drafts and recommendations of this group will be presented to the X3D Spec group along with Amendment 2 updates of the X3D standard.
