XML3D at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2011

shopping

Come meet us at IDF 2011 in San Francisco. We present XML3D in the Intel Labs Pavilion at the Technology Showcase floor. Come and see our brand new demo: A 3D shopping application. The customer can configure his camera with several lenses and flashes and experience the result fully interactive in 3D. Any similarity to actual shopping systems of online retailers is purely coincidental :) . . . → Read More: XML3D at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2011

Welcome to the Declarative 3D Community Group

The Community Group “Declarative 3D for the Web Architecture” is an initiative of DFKI, Fraunhofer IGD and the Web3D Consortium. Originally intended as an Incubator Group, we want to use this great new opportunity of W3C Community Groups and use it to build a community that is interested in describing highly interactive 3D scenes within HTML and the DOM.

Demos and Tutorials on ThreeAxis Website

Fractal Explorer

The Website http://threeaxis.net/ has another nice XML3D tutorial and an amazing XML3D/WebGL demo: Fractal explorer. According to the author, Christian Schlinkmann, more flashy demos are going to come. Christian is heavily involved into the development of the XML3D/WebGL renderer and presents also some new experimental features, which are not (yet) in the XML3D . . . → Read More: Demos and Tutorials on ThreeAxis Website

XML3D presented at W3C TPAC

In a “3D on the Web” session on the first day of TPAC, we presented the XML3D approach to integrate interactive 3D graphics into HTML. Together with our colleagues from the x3dom project we presented, why we think a declarative solution for 3D graphics is needed. We got very positive and helpful feedback from the participants (W3C, Boeing, Microsoft, LG and others) and were encouraged from W3C members to start a W3C Incubator Group on that topic.

Mailing List

The new and open XML3D mailing list provides a discussion forum for XML3D users (or interested in becoming those).
