Figure 1: A Virtual World scene featuring several instances of the same robot character, configured to have individual poses and colors. AbstractThe Declarative 3D for the Web initiative by the W3C [W3C 2011] connects 3D content to the Web document, intertwining it with other Web technologies known to millions of Web developers. The goal is to make 3D on the Web more accessible compared to lowlevel APIs such as WebGL. However, all proposals for Declarative 3D for the Web are missing an essential feature: configurable instances of structured 3D models. While instance mechanisms do exist, they all have limited capabilities to configure instances individually.In this paper we present a new approach for configurable instances of 3D models that is integrated into XML3D. Our approach comes with a compact interface, a powerful extension mechanism to handle configurations, and an efficient data structures for efficient instancing. We demonstrate how our instance mechanism simplifies the handling of 3D models in several different application areas, including Virtual Worlds, and provide several performance results for the instancing process.

“…Defining an XML namespace and using a special connector component, X3DOM builds a bridge between the DOM and X3D that allows manipulation of the 3D content simply by adding, removing, or changing DOM elements. An approach similar to X3DOM is the XML3D system [175,176], another plug-in-free high-level approach which, instead of embedding an existing framework (X3D) in the browser context (like X3DOM does), tries to extend HTML, maximizing the use of existing features to embed the 3D content in the web page. XML3D uses XHTML and, for intensive online data processing [see, for instance, 104], relies on Xflow [103,105], an "extension" developed to expose system hardware and allowing data-flow programming.…”

Three-dimensional content is becoming an important component of the World Wide Web environment. From the advent of WebGL to the present, a wide number of solutions have been developed (including libraries, middleware, and applications), encouraging the establishment of 3D data as online media of practical use. The fast development of 3D technologies and related web-based resources makes it difficult to identify and properly understand the current trends and open issues. Starting from these premises, this survey analyzes the state of the art of 3D web publishing, reviews the possibilities provided by the major current approaches, proposes a categorization of the features supported by existing solutions, and cross-maps these with the requirements of a few main application domains. The results of this analysis should help in defining the technical characteristics needed to build efficient and effective 3D data presentation, taking into account the application contexts.
