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 between fields. This is
a very simplistic model for distribution, but one that works well for small applications. Avocado is
built on the Ensemble toolkit from Cornell

3D WORKING GROUP : Parallel Graphics

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."

ParallelGraphics a rejoint le 3D Working Group dont nous vous parlions il y a quelques jours. Ce groupement d'éditeurs devrait produire un standard web 3D pour le monde de la CAO. Voici une partie des menbres : Intel Corporation, 3Dlabs Inc., Actify Inc., Adobe Systems, ATI Technologies, The Boeing Company, Dassault Systemes, Lattice Technology, Mental Images, Microsoft Corporation, Naval Postgraduate School, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SGDL Systems, Inc., i3Dimensions, Tech Soft America/OpenHSF.
