Riassunto:

3D development is difficult, but it is where the web is headed--and headed fast. Why? Because humans crave 3D experiences: we live in a 3D world, after all. Java 3D is an extension of Java, and is considered by many as the most likely 3D technology to succeed in the web development arena. This book is a relatively short (350 pages) introduction to Java 3D and its capabilities, as well as a guide to developers and programmers.
