Interactive 3D Content Standards

  • Chapter
Interactive 3D Multimedia Content

Abstract

Development of 3D interactive network applications requires standards for representing 3D content as well as metadata standards for describing the content. In this chapter, selected standards for content representation and content description are presented. In particular, the VRML, X3D, and MPEG-4 ISO/IEC standards are presented. Other standards such as U3D, COLLADA, and 3D XML are also discussed and compared. Metadata standards suitable for describing interactive 3D content are also presented.
