X_Ite is an open‑source, JavaScript‑based X3D browser that uses WebGL to render interactive 3D graphics directly in modern web browsers—no plugins required. It supports X3D, VRML, and even glTF, making it one of the most complete and actively maintained X3D runtimes available today.

What X_Ite Does

• It is a full standard X3D WebGL browser, capable of displaying nearly all X3D nodes and components.
  • Implements the X3D standard (ISO/IEC)
  • Supports the full event model, routing, sensors, scripts, timing, and behaviors
  • Handles multiple components and profiles
  • Ensures standards compliance
  • Can run any valid X3D file, not just a subset
• It allows authors to publish X3D scenes inside HTML5 pages, using a single JavaScript include, similar to X3DOM but with a more complete X3D feature set.
• It can also function as a VRML viewer, thanks to X3D’s backward compatibility.
• It is part of the Web3D ecosystem and is recognized by the Web3D Consortium as one of the primary browser‑based X3D viewers.
