In this workshop, we will introduce the rendering specification for browsers. New features in WebGL 2.0 include geometry instancing, transform feedback, and 3D textures will be covered in depth. Topics will be drawn from arts, science, data visualisation, as well as WebVR/WebAR.
10:30 – 10:45	Break
10:45 – 12:15	Masterclass 4 Nicholas Polys Medical and Volume Visualisation on the Web Interoperability and reproducibility are crucial concerns in medical imaging. This session showcases recent applications and case studies using X3D on the Web for volume rendering and visualization. We will demonstrate the techniques and tools in use today for Web3D and discuss community-driven extensions to improve the standard.	Workshop 1 Don Brutzman, Vincent Marchetti 3D Scanning: Use Cases, Workflow and Profile Requirements for X3D 3D scanning is growing in importance. Typical workflows exist both for scan refinement and scan applications, but numerous variations create difficulties that might be well served by a common data format and shared metadata conventions using X3D.
12:15 – 1:15	Lunch Keynote: Neil Trevett President, Khronos Group Khronos Standards for the Web
1:15 – 2:15	Keynote: Elizabeth Baron VR & Advanced Visualization Tech Specialist Ford Motor Company Immersive Storytelling for Pervasive Product Design and Engineering

Wednesday June 7

Time	Theatre GP-P419	Classroom G-P504
9:00 – 9:30	Masterclass 6 Mitch Williams Moving Web 3D content Into GearVR This Masterclass will demonstrate how current 3D technologies such as X3D, glTF, and the fbx and obj file formats can be used in creating VR content for GearVR.	Workshop 2 Vincent Marchetti, Don Brutzman Using X3D Metadata for Domain Specific Information This workshop will examine use of X3D over a span of domains such as Medical application, CAD visualization and Culture Heritage archiving. Examples will suggest general requirements for metadata support in the X3D standard. Best-practice guidelines will be proposed for including searchable metadata in X3D files.
