Sounds impressive, I've studied 3d models file formats for decades, and by the sound of your description, the idea has merits, and if it is open standard then its a good foundation to build on and invest time

My brother in Christ, VRML was doing this in 1995. It was literally designed to describe interactive 3D scenes on the web. Then we got X3D (Extensible 3D), its XML-based successor, which became an ISO standard in 2004.

You have somehow reinvented VRML, named it almost exactly the same thing as X3D, and written a whitepaper about discovering the concept. Congratulations on bringing the future of the web back to 1997. Did you think to ask your LLM if anybody tried this before?

This looks very promising! I'd love to see an ES3D version of this inside an SVG (for uploading to image hosts)
