About the Consortium

Founded in 1997, the Web3D® Consortium is an International, non-profit, member-funded, industry standards development organization. We develop and maintain open, royalty-free ISO standards for web-based 3D graphics. The X3D standard is an extensible framework and ecosystem for describing, composing, simulating, and collaboratively navigating and constructing 3D scenes. It originated from VRML and is extensible, interoperable, and runs on all platforms including desktops, tablets, and phones. Our members are from business, academia, government and the military.
