Submission Deadline is Friday, 20 July 2012 at 5PM PDT (GMT-0700)

Use of X3D systems has increased steadily throughout the world, delivering durable applications in industry, science, medicine, culture, entertainment, education and now Augmented Reality (AR).

IIf you have AMAZING, COMPELLING and INNOVATIVE cross-platform X3D or VRML content, you may be invited to be a speaker to discuss and demonstrate your products at our Web3D Tech Talk. You will have 10 minutes to present your work and the tools used going from your concept to the final product. The content we have received in previous years was simply amazing.  We can’t wait to see yours!

The Web3D Consortium Tech Talk is always a popular event at SIGGRAPH, attended by over 300 conference attendees.  Indeed a great platform to showcase your innovation.  Web3D will also have several Birds of the Feathers and a booth at SIGGRAPH 2012. For more information on events at SIGGRAPH 2012 please visit our Web3D2012Events page. 

The Web3D Consortium celebrates over a decade of innovation and interoperability in Web3D technology. Our standard X3D remains the most robust and versatile open standard for implementation of high-integrity and high-capability 4D multimedia information spaces. With multiple encodings and API bindings, it is compatible with many web and industry technologies. The data integration capacities and the rich set of componentized features is rapidly expanding X3D's value across markets from mobile, AR, CAD and medical.
