The combination between WebGL and JavaScript has led to the development of X3DOM, an open-source framework, which allows us to work with 3D content without the use of plugins.

WebM is an open, royalty-free, media file format designed for the web that defines the file container structure, video and audio formats. WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 video codec and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis audio codec. The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska container.

The Extensible MPEG-4 Textual (XMT) format is used to represent MPEG-4 3d scenes using a textual XML syntax.

XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents, or other objects such as HTML for web pages, plain text or into XSL Formatting Objects.

X3D is an architecture that provides the entire infrastructure needed in order to create, store, restore and reproduce in real time 3-dimensional scenes and objects using the XML syntax.
