Tutorials:
1. Resources for Teaching and Learning X3D
Speaker: Dr. Don Brutzman, Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)
NEW: Presentation Slides
This course is taught at an intermediate level and is suitable for educators and learners (i.e. all attendees). Materials covered include X3D examples, authoring validation and conversion tools, books, course slidesets and videos, communities, and numerous other resources. Educators will get everything needed to teach their own introductory or advanced X3D graphics courses, without student prerequisites for programming experience. Graphics authors learning on their own will be fully enabled to learn and try whichever parts of X3D interest them. Future work on e-books will be described. If time permits, educators will be given 1-2 minutes to describe their experiences teaching X3D.
2. Not Your Mother's Web3D - Integrating X3DOM, jQuery and HTML5
Speaker: Sandy Ressler NIST
NEW: [Presentation Slides]
This tutorial, for intermediate users, is suitable for educators, scientists and artists, with some 3D and programming experience, (all attendees). The benefits of declarative 3D markup, as realized by X3DOM will be emphasized in the context of integration with web pages. First we will look at the structure of markup languages in particular X3D (briefly); several methods of using jQuery to affect the geometry in a scene (after an introduction to jQuery); creation and modification of typical web-based user interface elements; and finally a small set of examples will be fully explored giving attendee the framework to put useful 3D content into their web pages with fully functional interactive web (HTML5) elements.
3. X3D Volume Visualization and Medical Applications
Speakers:
Dr. Nicholas Polys, Virginia Polytechnic (VT)
Dr. Michael Aratow, San Mateo Medical Center
Dr. Luis Kabongo/John Congote, Vicomtech-IK4
NEW: [Presentation Slides]
Extensible 3D (X3D) version 3.3 includes new functionality to describe the presentation of volumetric imagery and its integration with the scene graph. In this tutorial, we will introduce the nodes of the Medical Interchange Profile and demonstrate their expressiveness to describe visualization of data from several modalities including MRI, CT, and X-Ray. Attendees will learn practical techniques and pipelines to process volumetric data (such as image slices) into interactive X3D worlds. We will demonstrate processing with open-source tools such as ImageJ, Seg3D, H3D and X3D-Edit to build X3D scenes and applications. Finally, we will demonstrate new developments in X3D volume rendering with X3DOM.
4. WebGL: The Standard, The Practice and the Opportunity
Speakers:
Neil Trevett, The Khronos Group
Ken Russell, Google and WebGL Working Group Chair
3D on the Web and the Khronos Ecosystem by Neil Trevett, NVIDIA and Khronos Group President
Hands On With WebGL by Ken Russell, Google and WebGL Working Group Chair
NEW: [Presentation Slides by Neil Trevett]
WebGL is a significant advance in the evolution of 3D on the Web, enabling foundational, GPU-accelerated 3D to be delivered by the browser without the need for a plug-in. WebGL can be used directly by applications or by a widening variety of higher-level frameworks and middleware. WebGL has already inspired a wide variety of accelerated applications to be deployed on the Web. This session is an introduction to WebGL with two speakers actively involved in the development and evolution of the WebGL standard. The first half of the session provides the context for WebGL within the HTML5 and Khronos API ecosystems. The second half of the session will provide a hands-on introduction to coding in WebGL along with examples and cutting edge demos. This session is suitable for educators, scientists and artists, with some 3D and programming experience, (all attendees).

Workshop: "Lightweight Visualization"
Organizer: Julien Jomier, Kitware
Speakers: Hyokwang Lee, Thierry Bonfante, Alexis VartanianAbstract:
While datasets are becoming larger and more and more complex, users are expecting to visualize their data anywhere, leading to a technological challenge to provide lightweight visualization tools and services. During this workshop, speakers will share their vision and experience regarding the challenging topic of providing and using lightweight visualization.

Workshop: "Virtual Worlds in the Web"
Organizer: Sergiy Byelozyorov, IMPRS-CS
Speakers: Sergiy Byelozyorov, Mic Bowman (or colleague), Ewen Cheslack-Postava and Nicholas Polys, Virgina TechAbstract:
Virtual worlds have become more widespread as we see increase in the number of online games, collaborative environments etc. However, most of them are still using technologies that are foreign to the Web and operate using different applications than the browser itself. In this workshop we will explore the existing and emerging solutions that permit using virtual worlds directly in the browser and the challenges that developers face when creating such worlds.
Talks:
"Virtual Worlds: State of the Art" by Sergiy Byelozyorov, IMPRS-CS
NEW: [Presentation Slides]"Beyond Porting Sirikata to the Web" by Ewen Cheslack-Postava, Sirikata Project, Stanford
NEW: [Presentation Slides]"State and Synchrony in Standards-based Virtual Worlds: 2012 Update" by Nicolas Polys, Virginia Tech
NEW: [Presentation Slides]Workshop: "Augmented Reality and the Web"
Organizer: Marius Preda, MPEG ARAF
Speakers: Neil Trevett, Don Brutzman, Carl Smyth, Marius PredaAbstract:
Augmented, and in general, Mixed Reality (AR/MR) applications and services are bridges between the two worlds of today's humanity: the physical one and the informational one. While the former is our natural environment, the later is relatively new and it evolved exponentially with the development of the Web. The recent development of mobile terminals processing capabilities makes possible to anyone to use these bridges. Academia and industry provided, and continue to do, an impressive quantity of algorithms, tools, prototypes, products to create and experiment AR/MR content. As at the beginning of the Web and the creation of HTML, the common vision of the speakers of this panel is that open standards will be a catalyst for developing the bridges. Representatives from major standardization bodies involved in the field such as Web3D, Khronos Consortium, OGC and ISO/IEC will provide their recent advancements. Uniquely, these standard organizations create the framework to advance in a synchronized manner in the field of AR/MR.

NEW: [Presentation Slides]Workshop: "Declarative 3D"
Organizers: Kristian Sons and Johannes Behr
Speakers: Johannes Behr, Kristian Sons, Kenneth RussellNEW: [Presentation Slides]
Abstract:
The introduction of WebGL in early 2009 brought us closer also to the idea of Declarative 3D than most other technologies. Now -- with 3 years of experience in WebGL and DOM-based 3D descriptions -- we want to discuss the lessons learned and what next steps it takes to make 3D graphics a matter of course in our daily web experience.

Invited Session: "OGC 3D Portrayal Interoperability Experiment - Insights and Results"
Speaker: Jan Klimke
NEW: [Presentation Slides]
Initiated by the OGC 3D Information Management Domain Working Group, partners from 9 companies, institutes, and universities have been working together for 9 months in the OGC 3D Portrayal Interoperability Experiment (3DPIE) to demonstrate and test various approaches for setting up a service-based pipeline for the portrayal of complex 3D geodata, based on open standards. A key issue of the 3DPIE was to test concepts and implementations of two service interfaces currently discussed and developed within the OGC: 1) the Web 3D Service (W3DS), which is providing graphics data, e.g., in X3D or KML/COLLADA format, to be rendered at the client side, and 2) the Web View Service (WVS), which is providing multilayered images of 3D views of a 3D scene, which can be consumed also by thin client applications. In several experiments arranged in three threads (data integration, service integration, and service delivery) the partners, e.g., imported massive CityGML data (e.g., a complete Paris model) into W3DS and WVS servers and managed to deliver 3D content to web browsers and mobile devices. This talk will present experiments as well as major results and issues generated by the 3D Portrayal Interoperability Experiment.
