Open Standards for Real-Time 3D Communication

Jul 25, 2006

The Web3D Consortium today announced the X3D Conformance Testing Program for the X3D Interchange Profile. The Conformance Testing Program is intended to promote consistent and reliable implementations of the X3D specification by many vendors across multiple platforms. This consistency will help drive rapid evaluation, deployment and acceptance of the X3D standard for real-time interactive 3D visualization.

Using "plug in free" X3D technology in Demicron's WireFusion, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's PlanetQuest web site is providing visitors with a unique opportunity to interactively explore the Milky Way galaxy. Product Visualization Services worked with NASA to create a platform-independent interactive 3D visualization and multimedia "3D Guide to the Galaxy" that can be navigated in real-time over the Web.
