The document discusses an introduction to 3D web mapping using X3D within the context of free open source software for geospatial applications. It covers the benefits of 3D visualization, the technical standards and structures of X3D, and the functionalities of X3DOM for rendering 3D content in web environments. Additionally, it highlights challenges in 3D web representation, tools for working with X3D, and the integration of X3DOM for geospatial applications.

- 2. Outline 3D in Web 3D Visualization X3D + DOM = X3DOM 3D Web Problems in 3D Web X3D What is X3D Web 3D Consortium X3DOM and HTML X3DOM Engine Code Structure Features X3DOM and 3D Mapping Features of X3D Working with X3D Working with X3DOM Final Notes 2
- 3. Why 3D? 3
- 4. Why 3D? - better visualization and appreciation of the world 4
- 5. Why 3D? ? Notes: Problem 3D real world objects in 2D maps – introduce abstractions and generalization of data. Depth Perception is non exsitent Removes other features that makes the object unique. 3D real world objects in 3D models – less abstractions and generalization of data. Depth Perception is present Retains most features. 5

Hardware can now handle the stress of having 3D graphics SNES – Super Nintendo Entertainment System . 6

- 12. What is X3D? 12
- 13. What is X3D? “X3D (Extensible 3D) is a royalty-free and openly published standard file format specification and run-time architecture to represent and communicate 3D objects, events, behaviors and environments.” Notes: X3D – is an ISO certified xml file format used for 3D applications. -successor of the VRML97(Virtual Reality Modeling Language) Example of an X3D object/model 13
- 14. The Web3D Consortium Notes: Web3D consortium to provide a forum for the creation of open standards and specifications in web 3d. Act as a body of certification in open web 3d. They manage the specifications of the x3d file format. The Web3D Consortium is utilizing its broad-based industry support to develop the the X3D specification, for communicating 3D on the web, between applications and across distributed networks and web services. 14
