Web3D

Web3D was initially the idea to fully display and navigate websites using 3D. By extension, the term now refers to all interactive 3D content that is embedded into web pages' HTML and that users can see through a web browser.
Notable formats and tools include:
- 3DMLW
- A-Frame (VR)
- Additive Manufacturing File Format
- Adobe Shockwave
- Blend4Web
- Java 3D
- JOGL
- LWJGL
- O3D
- Oak3D
- PlayCanvas
- ShiVa
- Three.js
- Unity
- Verge3D
- Viewpoint
- Virtools
- VRML
- Web3D Consortium
- WebGL
- WebVR
- WireFusion
- X3D (extension of VRML)
- X3DOM
They are mainly distinguished by five criteria:[citation needed]
- Simplicity (automatic installation, rate facility already high)
- Compatibility (Windows, Mac, Unix, etc.)
- Quality (performance, see frames per second, and indirectly, display quality)
- Interactivity (depending on the solutions and their programming opportunities, content creators have more or less freedom in the creation of interactivity)
- Standardization (none; "market position", by a standards organization, etc.)
