X3D version 3.4 Development efforts are evolutionary improvements to the proven X3D Graphics architecture.

Working groups are currently defining goals and requirements.

We expect to add a lot of links and details during this summer's Web3D 2013 and SIGGRAPH 2013 conference meetings.

  • Audio and sound: free formats, aural spatialization
  • CAD Interactive Profile
  • Ecmascript (Javascript) revision: confirm compatibility
  • H-Anim new work items
  • Medical improvements
  • Mobile Profile
  • X3D Multitexture is undergoing review for correctness, completeness and conformance of rendering example scenes
  • Projective texture mapping
  • Other components to be added by Web3D Consortium members

Notes:

Any work related to HTML5 or Augmented Reality Continuum (ARC) is first considered as part of the X3D version 4.0 efforts. Some new technologies may get pushed from 4.0 to 3.4 after consideration there.

As with all other X3D components, all work is defined in the abstract specification has corresponding encodings (.x3d .x3dv .x3db) and language bindings (Ecmascript and Java).
