Tony Parisi, president and CEO of Media Machines, is a technology pioneer and accomplished entrepreneur. He is co-creator of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), the ISO standard for 3D graphics on the World Wide Web, and is widely recognized as an expert in standards, technologies, and emerging markets for interactive rich media. In 1995 Tony founded Intervista Software, an early innovator in real-time, networked 3D graphics technology and developed WorldView, the first real-time VRML viewer for Microsoft Windows. In 1998 Intervista was purchased by PLATINUM technology, inc., and Tony joined the company to lead business affairs for its 3D visualization group. Tony founded Media Machines in 2001 and is spearheading the development of FLUX, a real-time 3D technology that continues to push the envelope in interactive graphics for the Web. He is also a lead editor and co-chair of the Extensible 3D (X3D) Specification, the new standard for Web3D graphics being developed by the Web3D Consortium.
Real-time 3D is emerging as a first-class media type for the Web. Network
bandwidth and graphics hardware processing power are now sufficiently
advanced to enable compelling Web-based 3D experiences, including games,
online virtual worlds, simulations, education, and training. Commercial
developers are expressing increasing interest in exploiting real-time 3D in
Web applications to enhance production values, create engaging immersive
experiences, and deliver information in a more meaningful way.
Much of the infrastructure is in place to enable professional Web 3D
deployment in a cross-platform, open, royalty-free environment.
Interoperability standards such as ISO-standard Extensible 3D Graphics (X3D)
are now mature, fully functional, and robust and supported by multiple open
source implementations and affordable production pipelines. However, those
technologies on... (more)
