Web3D Consortium announces the X3D Ecosystem special interest group to accelerate the progress of integrating X3D content across diverse domains and platforms. By extending support of X3D authoring tools and X3D conversion tools in other 3D technologies we can bring X3D to mainstream use. Calling 3D experts and enthusiasts to join.

Considering the high level of interest and numerous requests we have received, we have extended the paper submission deadline to Sunday 16 June 2024 at 10:00pm PDT (GMT-0700).

The X3D® version 4.0 specification is now ratified by ISO/IEC as an International Standard. This latest version continues the tradition of interoperability, long-term stability, and royalty-free use while providing powerful new graphics and multimedia capabilities. The Web3D® Consortium's X3D version 4.0 standard spans a cross-platform ecosystem, including other standards such as glTF, HTML, MIDI, and Web Audio API for interactive, composable worlds on the Web.
