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> <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. </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
