We’re excited to present a new REST interface integrated into InstantReality, which enables efficient data exchange between (web-)applications. As usual, we have new hardware support up our sleeves and will present an X3DOM scene using an Oculus Rift HMD with headtracking, which is supplied by the InstantIO server component via WebSockets. No plugins required! See you in San Sebastian!

InstantIO, the hardware server of InstantReality, is the first component to be equipped with this interface. Application writers can get access to hardware devices and their data with HTTP commands or WebSockets, allowing for integration of devices such as Microsoft Kinect or the Leap inside a web application.

We brought some new Kinect goodies with us and will show a fusion of InstantReality as a service for out-of-core rendering with X3DOM. It’ll blow your mind! For those who can’t wait to see it, here is a 14.5 million triangle model paged to an iPad.

Fraunhofer IGD presented this demonstrator at this year’s CeBIT in Hannover. The interactive multi-touch enabled demonstrator, which was developed within the “Software Cluster”, shows how deciders or technicians can integrate 3D documents via HTML5 into their workflow, e.g. by selecting an interactive 3D document on the touch table, sending it via e-mail, and then viewing it on a tablet — even at the building site or in the factory.

We have an official spot at the Software Cluster booth (Hall 26, booth F30) and demo the latest x3dom and instantreality features!
Come by to see some interesting demos, talk to the developers and chat about idea, design and implementation issues you have. Look out for the white multi-touch table!

the Dec3D 2012 Workshop  in conjunction with WWW2012 in April located in Lyon, France, as well as the 17th International Web3D 2012 Conference that is co-located with ACM Siggraph 2012 and held in Los Angeles, USA.

Both conferences include a ‘call for papers’ for related scientific material:

Please consider contributing a paper, if you use or extend X3DOM and/or InstantReality in some kind of scientific project or work on related topics.
