Abstract

In this paper, we explore and discuss X3D as an application description language for advanced mixed reality environments. X3D has been established as an important platform for today's web-based visualization and VR applications. Yet, there are very few examples for augmented reality systems utilizing X3D beyond a simple geometric description format. In order to fulfill the image compositing and synthesis requests of today's augmented reality applications, we propose extensions to X3D, especially with a focus on lighting and realistic rendering.
