This directory includes several experiments with X3D Networking.
</p>
<p>
Long-running efforts have attempted to define and build a new
<a href="NetworkSensorConnectionNodes.html" target="_blank">NetworkSensor node</a>
for X3D.
Although useful design progress was made by the X3D working group, this work did not reach closure
because author-written implementations did not appear to be possible using X3D prototypes
encapsulating sandbox-restricted JavaScript network access from within an HTML browser.
Further implementation and evaluation work might someday be pursued using an X3D browser implementation.

<p>
Examples of additional networking techniques for X3D
can also be added to this archive.
Of related interest: the
<a href="../DistributedInteractiveSimulation/index.html" target="_blank">Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS)</a>
examples in this archive, which include native X3D support for the
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Interactive_Simulation" target="_blank">IEEE Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS)</a>
networking-protocol standard.
