Web3D 2014 Workshops on X3D Evolution/Revolution
The Web3D 2014 Conference program schedule includes multiple X3D Workshops on Future Graphics Standards.
Moderators: Don Brutzman (Naval Postgraduate School), Dick Puk (Intelligraphics) and Leonard Daly (Daly Realism).
This page elaborates on the agenda topics. We are collaboratively adding key points. Volunteer scribes will keep minutes so that a workshop report emerges.
Contents
- 1 X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) Geometric-Compression Algorithm Candidates
- 1.1 Review and improve all published plans & milestones
- 1.2 Review Fraunhofer geometric-compression approach in detail, compare to all of the established X3D metrics
- 1.3 Summary of Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) data compression and XML Security to replace Fast Infoset (FI) in existing X3D CBE Specification
- 1.4 Shall we have a public mesh “contest” or “bakeoff” to confirm that your approach is ready for prime time?
- 1.5 Decide on readiness to proceed with next milestones
- 2 X3D 3.4 Evolution
- 3 Lunch discussions
- 4 X3D 4.0 / X3DOM / HTML5 Revolution
- 5 BIM/AEC/AM/CAD Initiatives
