A First Look at Flux: The New X3D Browser.
Advanced Visualizations and Realtime3D are fast becoming the next phase of
digital media for the web, corporate intranets, hand helds, phones and
beyond.
This month's meeting is a special "First Look" at what's to come.
VRML creator Tony Parisi takes you on a tour of X3D, the new standard in
real-time 3D. X3D picks up where VRML left off, with new graphics
features, better scripting and support for the Extensible Markup Language
(XML). Tony will demonstrate X3D using Flux, the new real time browser
from his company Media Machines. Tony and SFWEB3D founder Larry Rosenthal
will lead an open discussion about the state of the web3D business, how X3D
fits into the picture, and how X3D is positioned to succeed in bringing
realtime 3D
visualization and graphics to the web, handhelds and beyond.
Flux will be available for the first open beta download that night and will
give early
adopters and developers their first true X3D browser to play with. See it
presented by
Tony for the first time to SF 3D developers.
Presenter Bio:
Tony Parisi is a technology pioneer and accomplished entrepreneur at the
forefront of new media. Tony is co-author of the Virtual Reality Modeling
Language (VRML), the ISO standard for 3D graphics on the World Wide Web, and
is widely recognized as an expert in standards, technologies and emerging
markets for interactive rich media. Tony is currently the editor of
Extensible 3D Graphics (X3D), the successor to VRML as the ISO standard for
3D graphics.
In 1995 Tony founded Intervista Software, an early innovator in real-time,
networked 3D graphics technology. At Intervista, Tony led the development of
WorldView, a high-performance VRML player distributed to millions of
Internet Explorer users in partnership with Microsoft. In 1998 Intervista
was purchased by PLATINUM technology, inc. and Tony joined the company to
lead business affairs for its 3D visualization group. In 1999 Tony founded
Media Machines, originally as a consultancy providing business planning and
business development services to technology and media companies in the bay
area and worldwide. Media Machines is now completing development of Flux T,
an X3D-based real-time 3D technology that sets new performance and quality
standards in interactive graphics for web, broadcast and enterprise
applications.
