Web3D Consortium Builds Momentum with X3D-Earth at SIGGRAPH 2008
Web3D Consortium's X3D Earth team is now creating and deploying large model archives for developmental use. X3D mappings of world terrain, cartography and imagery is now available for use in X3D scenes, making it easy to geospatially reference and share X3D models while using royalty-free standards, the Web architecture, XML languages and open protocols. X3D Earth example worlds and video demonstrations are online at x3d-earth.nps.edu. Current efforts include invitations to various governments and agencies to both provide and expose geospatial terrain, bathymetry and imagery as sharable digital assets for the X3D Earth project.
