If the future of Oculus is the web..
.. is any one going to bring back VRML? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRML)
It may sound a little nutty, but if the focus is to provide interconnected virtual worlds over the internet, then surely we need a common language? VRML was a fantastic failure in the 90s (I had a friend who worked for sub-club.com), but now with focus on web VR and facebook, then it could be time for a revival.

- "X3D is a royalty-free ISO standard XML-based file format for representing 3D computer graphics. It is successor to the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML)."
- The HTTP can well include binary data, not only textual. You don't have to use text formats. But even if you do, there's open formats such as wavefront obj.
- Is anyone using X3D in anger with a Rift? I clearly need to look into it in greater detail.
