Avocado - developed at GMD, Avocado builds a field network abstraction over
the Performer scene
graph. Distribution is achieved primarily through the use of networked routes

built on the Ensemble toolkit from Cornell
WorldToolkit by Sens8
"WorldToolkit is the leading cross-platform real-time 3D development tool."

The absence of a flexible, standard 3-D format represents one of those key
barriers. By working with industry leaders and graphics experts, we plan to
create a format that will do for 3-D on the Web what the JPEG format did for
digital photography on the desktop."
