3D Internet demonstrated at CeBIT2010
The University of Saarland (Intel Visual Computing Institute) in cooperation with DFKI made a pretty interesting presentation with XML3D and this technology enables 3D content in standard HTML based web pages.
The great thing about XML3D is the fact that it just stacks on top of regular HTML adding 3D capabilities, which makes integration with existing web pages easy. With XML3D we can easily add web content that includes interactive high-quality real time graphics and it is pretty easy to grasp if you are already familiar with web programming.
XML3D will be supported by standard web browsers like Firefox, but we’re not sure whether Microsoft will use it in IE, at least not anytime soon
You can see the same demo (XML3D - Raytraced Venice in Wikipedia) on YouTube
