Web3D applications have been actively pursued by many organizations for quite some time. This community has spearheaded the development of the VRML 1.0 and 2.0 specifications, which provide the basis for the development of associated applications. The organizations involved in this effort felt that the creation of an open consortium focused exclusively on Web3D would provide the structure necessary to stabilize, standardize, and nurture the technology for the entire community. Today, the Web3D Consortium is utilizing its broad-based industry support to develop the the X3D specification as a successor to VRML for communicating 3D on the web, between applications and across distributed networks and web services. Related to its educational mission, the Corsortium maintains an extensive website of documents and links related to VRML and X3D resources, including plugins and browsers, and community development projects such as Xj3D, a Java -language based 3D viewer meeting X3D specifications.
