"the mp3 of 3d"

Interesting article. wonder if it will actually get traction:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/21/intel_u3d/

Intel, Adobe, Microsoft and more than 30 other companies have said they will co-operate to conjure up a standard for 3D graphics.

Dubbed the Universal 3D (U3D) format, the intention is to create a way of encoding 3D data as freely available as MP3 for audio and JPEG for still images. Intel and co.'s goal is to end the array of proprietary 3D graphics formats devised by CAD, 3D and other software developers and replace it with a single, standard format that all can use.
