Goals: X3D and E-Learning

The Web3D Consortium and the IMS Consortium have partnered together to collaboratively harmonize and integrate Web3D and IMS standards for Web-Enabled 3D content, tools and platforms for e-learning.

Our proposal • Explore and demonstrate best practices for integrating X3D Graphics models with e-learning content. • Create demonstration examples showing how X3D model display, animation and user interaction can all augment the learning effectiveness of online textbooks. • Show how X3D can serve as the common archival publishing format for a wide variety of diverse 3D graphics technologies. • Document these lessons learned for repeatable use by partnered consortium members and the educational community. • Formalize this effort and start a Working Group to implement these requirements to the respective standards specifications.


Technical Tasks

We are working on the following tasks.
