Khronos™ Group announces: multiple WebGL™ 1.0.1 implementations and COLLADA™ 1.5.0: Stakes and opportunities
Since March
27th, 2013, it is henceforth official The Khronos™ Group announces that
multiple WebGL™ 1.0.1 implementations are now fully conformant on a range of
desktop and mobile platforms . In addition, the WebGL 1.0.2 specification
and a set of extensions have been submitted for ratification and are expected
to be formally released in April 2013. This also means that the browser
and
GPU communities have been working diligently in the WebGL working group to
resolve GPU driver issues and tighten the WebGL specification by precisely
defining behaviors to provide a trusted and reliable platform that provides
portability for 3D content within HTML5 browsers across diverse platforms. You

The Khronos™ Group also
announces that COLLADA™ 1.5.0 has been published as an official ISO standard to
provide a reliable, long-term international standard for 3D asset authoring and
interchange. ISO SC4 TC184 has published ISO/PAS 17506. The goal here is
to enable developers to create tools to process COLLADA resources to import to
or export from digital content creation (DCC) applications, 3D interactive
applications and tool chains, prototyping tools and real-time visualization
applications. You can learn more here!
