Thanks for posting this as it is nice to see others reporting on the EXISTING 3D web standard! :) For Prokofy, I figured you too well versed in the virtual worlds crowd to not know what is the ISO ratified standard for interactive 3D on the web (X3D), and the difference between open source and open standard. Perhaps I am assuming too much. Dusan there is a correction on my blog I am passing along, X3D-Earth was funded by IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity ).

If you don't call it a world, but call it a "3-D visualization infrastructure," do you get to play different standards? And this idea that it's evil if just one company does something because "nobody owns the planet," well, ok, but...why isn't it evil if just one group of opensourceniks do it? I mean, why does being "open source" somehow confer a blessing on it? Why does *this guy* and not some *other guy* get to declare his project is THE standards-based 3-D thingie?
