Agreement between groups will accelerate the architectural evolution of cell phones and the web and they both use 3D graphics It’s ironic that over the past decade, two not-for-profit groups have been working diligently behind the scenes to lay the cornerstones of what is now becoming a white-hot, multi-billion dollar market. Many years ago, the founders of these organizations envisioned a whole new way of communicating and sharing data. Since then, the Khronos Group has successfully set the foundation for mobile 3D, TV and video; and the Web3D Consortium has made significant progress in introducing and commercializing real-time, connected 3D into the medical imaging, military simulation, geospatial, CAD, and web-based visualization markets.
