„GeoExt 3D“ combines ExtJS with X3Dom
- uses API on top of X3DOM
- uses ExtJS 4 elements such as Viewport, Panels, etc.

„GeoExt 3D“ combines ExtJS with X3Dom
- API methods such as
- setScaleZ(scale)
- setLayerVisibility(layerID, visibility)
- setLayerColor(layer, color)
- getState(); // setState(state)
- Navigation with Mouse/Keys

W3DS Service:
- data sent to client in X3D format
- data rendered in the client

Problems we had to catch up ….
- … Performance
- reduce data density
- enhance hardware
- wait ….
- … W3DS is not officially supported by GeoServer, so had to
use GeoServer UX
- … no API in X3Dom, so created one
- …

Many thanks!
