X3D: Standards, Applications & Products

X3D (Extensible 3D) is a set of royalty-free ISO/IEC standards for declaratively representing 3D computer graphics. X3D includes multiple graphics file formats, programming-language API definitions, and run-time specifications for both delivery and integration of interactive network-capable 3D data. X3D version 4.0 has been approved by Web3D Consortium…

Source & methodology

TTTA analyzes the structure around X3D to surface related topics, entities, relationships, concept neighborhoods and bridge connections. Use the map to explore areas such as Standards, Applications & Products, including less central topics that may reveal useful research gaps. Automatically extracted connections are research leads rather than rewritten encyclopedia content.
