[vos-d] [www-vrml] RE: [x3d-public] X3D Game Engine?

[chris]

Lauren,

you were clear enough - I was just reinterpreting a bit because I don't
think I have seen
such a thing for x3d. But there are some potential candidates as a starting
point, such as vos, vrspace or deepmatrix, to
perhaps link with an X3D browser. I just don't know enough about them
to comment on their specific strengths/weaknesses.
