Yumetech and Vcom3D are developing the H-Anim+ Browser API: a generic scheme for applying a vertex-skinning program to an H-Anim compliant model. The technical approach is to adapt the Xj3D Toolkit - a Java-based, open source API for creating VRML 97 and X3D applications - for the prototype H-Anim+ browser. Adopting open standards such as the X3D and H-Anim will reduce costs and ensure the longevity of applications involving human avatars.
General markets for this product to include military, law enforcement, emergency response units and the gaming industry.
