The 36th international conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques also known as SIGGRAPH 2009 was held this year in New Orleans, Louisiana from 3rd to 7th August 2009. This event was definitely the place to be for scientific visualization.
Thanks to Web3D Consortium, Collaviz had the opportunity to be introduced to different computer graphics communities through an Alexandre Frouart (EDF R&D) presentation about our project. He also presented the present use and the future use of the X3D standard within Collaviz.

A few words about X3D:
X3D, the only XML-based 3D file format and run-time architecture for Web authors, remains the most widely used ISO open standard for implementation of high-integrity, high-capability 3D systems. With its rich set of componentized features, X3D is used in more and more 3D markets and hardware platforms. X3D has a large innovative community of content and applications developers, and it ensures interoperability and ownership of your 3D content.
