• We have several member projects showcasing the feasibility of AR in X3D. Particularly X3DOMan open source co-evovled with Fraunhofer IGD.

• X3DOM can serve as an out of the box, standards based solution for AR developers.

• X3D and X3DOM continue to improve scripting options for X3D with HTML5 and this has good promise for AR applications.

• X3DOM is being considered for potential standardization in a Mobile and/or Augmented Reality (AR) profile for X3D.

• Our Web3D Korea Chapter members from ETRI are working on Mixed Reality visualization in X3D.

• The Consortium as been workign closely within W3C HTML5 WG to align our standards for 3D visualization on the Web.
