XML3D HTML Extension Making Online Shopping Experience 3D!
Ever wondered if there is a way through which FlipKart can reach to more customers? Well, there is more than an idea that can take your shopping experience to a new height. It is the 3D view which is set to give you a 'feel' of what you are buying by looking at it virtually, but clearly. #-Link-Snipped-# has just accomplished that.

Ahead of #-Link-Snipped-#, Saarland University developers have spotted a '2D' problem associated with the conventional online shops. They have developed a new HTML extension called XML3D to let potential buyers interact with products. This novel idea probably comes from the 3D modeling software used in industries. Previously, if any website wanted to showcase various spatial aspects of their product, they would have to click pictures through various angles. This was not an easy way of solving the problem. However, another way was to have a video of product displayed on the website that would give an insight of how the product actually looked like.
The extension developed by Saarland technicians is a way of improving the conventional measures adopted for displaying objects on sale. With XML3D, it is now an easy task of embedding 3D content on web, earlier possible only through the use of video clips. The peculiarity of the 3D HTML extension is that, a programmer does not need to do anything extra for having the 3D attributes displayed on web. The extension forms a part of the web page's HTML code. This permits a programmer to use his usual designing skills to create a web page.
The computer scientists at Saarland have already completed implementing this extension for #-Link-Snipped-# and #-Link-Snipped-#. It is expected to be available in the latest versions of #-Link-Snipped-#, Chrome and FireFox. Also the internet giants have shown their interest in the latest technology. The present development will be demonstrated by Saarland University's Intel Visual Computing Institute at CeBIT 2012. As the web becomes more advanced, the graphical capability thus unleashed by applying similar technologies will find wide applications.
