Open 3D/VR standards are emerging

1. The COLLADA format is being introduced as the new open format. The idea is create it once instead of creating it for every different program, game, or utility that you are trying to use with the 3D/VR objects/models. This format has been put in place over the past 2 years and has aimed at properly representing in each program it is imported into. iED/VR is a subset of the COLLADA format and is able to seamlessly integrate between all of the iED platforms. iED is based closely on the COLLADA format and was developed to the open and royalty-free intellectual property process standards.
