Hello Didier:
Yes. The standard isn't finalized and of course, everything is
a beta, but there are three implementations of note at this
time:
o http://mediamachines.com Flux. An Active X plugin and toolkit. Reads XML.
Pay attention
to the installation instructions. Best for someone just getting started
or who needs a
solid Windows implementation that looks good and runs fast. Note that the
main guy in
this company is Tony Parisi, a legend because he is one of the three
people who brought
3D to the web originally.
o http://www.xj3d.org Xj3D Linux, Windows, and Java - browser and toolkit.
Reads XML.
Open source. Powerful stuff for powerful people. This is the
consortium's commitment
to open source and "no standard before implementation".
o http://www.bitmanagement.de/developer/contact/examples/x3d/x3d.html This
is a version
of the Contact VRML97 viewer that uses DOM and transforms XML to VRML. I
haven't tested
it but the group that does this is one of the best in the business of
those who
survived the industry shakeout.
I wrote an article for XML.COM with the details of X3D
and a sample tutorial. If it gets published, more information
will be available in a digestible chunk. There are extensions
such as GeoVRML and H-Anim that are exciting.

Didier ask:
Len, I tried to find an X3D viewer without success. Do you know if there are
any or if there are some work in progress to build ones.
