My interests in X3D are three fold 1. enabler to bridge the "air gap" between the CAD flowing in products' supply chain and the CAD-less consumer chain 2. enabler to bridge the "intellectual gap" between 'patients' and healthcare providers via anthropomorphic interface to health states: past, present and planned 3. catalyst to the DoD perennial challenge of enterprise wide modeling and simulation composition

I am interested in using X3D as a method to present CAD information from the web for general purpose clients, such as web browsers. In particular, I would like to present 3D models generated from STEP (ISO 10303) data files. I am developing a web application [ http://spri.kshell.com SPRI ] which allows users to upload STEP data files and browse the contents of that file, I would like to enhance the ability to deliver both explicit 3D models and other conceptual information transmitted as X3D.
To further this end, I am also interested in developing the capabilities for browsers to use the NURBS Component of the X3D standard.

My main interest is integration of 3D into the Information System. When industrial installations (like power plants) are concerned, CAD is interesting beacuse it allows :
- Reduced network footprint (higher-level primitives)
- Consistency with the IS (structure, identification of parts)
For CAD, I mostly see X3D as a presentation format. I'd be glad to see it cover interchange too, but presentation can bring high rewards rather fast while staying focused.
