Active X3D Working Groups: Public Pages

Several X3D working groups are Web3D Consortium member-only, since members have agreed to the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy which effectively prevents any royalty-based technology from being adopted by X3D. This approach provides great value to the public, and also allows both companies and individual professionals to contribute to X3D directly as Web3D Consortium members.

Meanwhile each working group can still decide to place some work in the open. For example, all HTML5/X3DOM work is completely in the open.

Web3D Members can also use the Web3D Members-Only Wiki.

X3D Working Group

The X3D Working Group is the main forum for coordinating all X3D specification activities. Working group teleconferences are every Wednesday at 08-0900 pacific time, 16-1700 GMT on the Web3D teleconference line.

This group performs ongoing review of X3D specification comments and X3D implementation resources.

Cochairs: Don Brutzman and Leonard Daly
ISO Convener: Dick Puk

Current activities:

X3D version 3.3 has been finalized as an ISO Draft International Standard (DIS). In progress: final editor review to consider advancement to ISO Final Draft International Standard (FDIS)
X3D Binary Compression Capabilities and Plans
X3D MIME-Type in X3D Working Group to get official IETF MIME-Type recognition for X3D

X3D and Augmented Reality Continuum (ARC) Working Group: AR Extensions for X3D

The Augmented Reality (AR) Working Group was formed to address the needs of projecting computer generated information into the real world. The Working Group focuses on utilizing and extending X3D capabilities to support augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) applications.

X3D CAD Working Group: Computer Aided Design (CAD) Extensions for X3D

The X3D CAD Working Group is now in its third generation of development effort. We are developing and demonstrating best practices for exporting CAD models to X3D for Web applications.

X3D Earth Working Group for geospatial representations

The X3D Earth Working Group uses the Web architecture, XML languages, and open protocols to build a standards-based X3D Earth specification usable by governments, industry, scientists, academia, and the general public. X3D-Earth efforts encompass client-side, server-side, authoring, and conversion technologies. Vision: Make it easier to create and use 3D spatial data. Mission. Promote spatial data use within X3D via open architectures.

X3D Special Interest Groups: Public Pages

X3D Special Interest groups are open to all. This open approach provides great value to the public to explore new technologies and applications for X3D. It also allows both companies and individuals to contribute some technologies towards moving the X3D standard forward.
