Abstract

Conceptually, the semantics of X3D describe an abstract functional behaviour of time-based, interactive 3D, multimedia information and do not at all specify a specific software or hardware setup. However, X3D clients and applications today are mainly built for desktop systems running a web-browser.In this paper we explore how suitable X3D and W3C technologies can be utilized as an application and programming model for im-mersive virtual environments. We present a system implementation, necessary extensions to the X3D specification and discuss how standard nodes can be interpreted differently in an immersive setting.
