Introduction
“X3DOM (pronounced X-Freedom) is an experimental open source framework and runtime to support the ongoing discussion in the Web3D and W3C communities how an integration of HTML5 and declarative 3D content could look like. It tries to fulfill the current HTML5 specification for declarative 3D content and allows including X3D elements as part of any HTML5 DOM tree.” ([X3Dom.org], retrieved 12:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)).
The X3DOM (if accepted as specification which seems to be very likely) is to WebGL what SVG is to canevas. This relationship is nicely explained in the following figure found at x3dom.org
Alpha implementations work with browsers that implement WebGL (e.g. Firefox 4.0). See X3DOM for more information. Firefox 4 users will have to enable WebGL (see the Tour 3D).
