Description: The Web has come a long way since the first VRML conference, VRML '95, was held in San Diego in December 1995. The conference was known as VRML 'xx until 2001 when it was renamed the Web3D Symposium.This year the Web3D community attains a significant landmark, the 10th conference in the series. From San Diego in 1995, the conference moved to Monterey for 97 and 98, then to Europe (Paderborn in Germany) for 99, back to Monterey in 2000, Paderborn in 2001, Tempe Arizona in 2002, Saint Malo, France, in 2003, Monterey in 2004 and now, for the first time, Wales (UK) for 2005. Proceedings of all 10 conferences have been published by ACM Press and are incorporated into the ACM Digital Library.The Web3D Consortium and the Web3D community of researchers and practitioners works long and hard to foster the development and promote the use of International Standards for 3D graphics on the World Wide Web. This year has seen, among other things, the approval and publication of the X3D Specification as an ISO/IEC International Standard (ISO/ IEC 19775:2004), the emergence of the Medical Working Group, and new initiatives concerning Learning, Education and Training.This volume contains the papers accepted for the Web3D 2005 Symposium on 3D Web Technologies.
