ABSTRACT

3D web software visualization has always been expensive, special purpose, and hard to program. Most of the technologies used require large amounts of scripting, are not reliable on all platforms, are binary formats, or no longer maintained. We can make web software visualization of object-oriented programs cheap, portable, and easy by using Extensible (X3D) 3D Graphics, which is a free open standard. In this paper we outline our experience with X3D and discuss the suitability of X3D as an output format for software visualization.
