Abstract
With the advent of digital communication technologies, a huge quantity of information can be stored and transferred. However, with increased possibility comes increasing complexity. As indicated by the dissatisfaction often experienced by users of information technology, cur-rent systems of accessing, organizing and navigating information are proving insufficient. For this reason, in the Web world, besides new media contents, new technologies for implementing more dynamic and user-friendly interfaces are being developed. Currently, the last step in the evolution of digital technologies for web interface and contents is represented by virtual environments which, despite the appearances, are, in some cases, very accessible and economic. This paper will provide a panorama on the functionalities of language X3D and the identification of the cases in which is possible to use X3Director.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
