I'd rather see X3D get a proper DOM: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300874

remember that the HTML5 canvas 3d context is currently in the works, and from the demos that i played with, looks awesome.

with Chrome compiling javascript code, maybe it would be easier to write a js library as the 3d plugin?

In the neuroanatomy scientific community (and in the medical in general), we CAN'T WAIT to have a proper interactive blender-like 3D viewer in-the-browser that just works. All VRML viewers turned out to be horrible, or just incompatible with Blender.

What about having something faster than JavaScript, say, Python running in a similar plugin instead? Something that has a complete modern 3D Engine and a Physics Engine with VRML and fair Blender support.

Are you sure that Python is faster than JavaScript? I'm not saying it isn't, but in a light of recent optimized JavaScript engines who knows?

What we need boils down to:

* Rotate in 3D with middle mouse button (MMB)

* Pan in 3D with shift+MMB

* Zoom with scroll wheel

* Print object's name on mouse over.

On top of this, built whatever later, for the above cover most visualization needs.

3D browser Plugin - Blender web plugin. What value would such and app add to the internet?
