An Overview of Scene Description Formats

The remarkable progress in computer graphics, xR content and volumetric image capture has led to a range of file formats for the interchange of 3D scene descriptions and image assets.  Some examples include Filmbox (FBX), Alembic (ABC), Universal Scene Description (USD), GL Transmission Format (glTF), and the Immersive Technology Media Format (ITMF) proposed by the Immersive Digital Experiences Alliance (IDEA)

In order to help understand the differences and intended uses for these various formats, IDEA has prepared this White Paper on Scene Description Formats.  It is available at no charge and may be downloaded below.  We welcome any comments or questions.  Please direct your correspondence to Comments@ImmersiveAlliance.org.
