Add to basket3D development is difficult, but it is where the web is headed--and headed fast. Why? Because humans crave 3D experiences: we live in a 3D world, after all. Java 3D is an extension of Java, and is considered by many as the most likely 3D technology to succeed in the web development arena. This book is a relatively short (350 pages) introduction to Java 3D and its capabilities, as well as a guide to developers and programmers.

An active member of the Internet standards community, Walsh is Chairman of the Web3D Consortium's Universal Media technical working group, Chairman of the Web3D-MPEG group responsible for the convergence of Web3D and Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) technology, co-chair of the Web3D Intellectual Property Rights group, and Web3D Liaison to MPEG and the World Wide Web Consortium.
