Khronos just returned from a dynamic and productive week at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024, which took place from December 3–6 in the bustling city of Tokyo, Japan. This annual gathering of some of the world’s most innovative minds in graphics, XR, and emerging spatial computing technologies provided the perfect backdrop for the Khronos Group to showcase its leadership in shaping the future of 3D graphics and immersive experiences. With key announcements, a series of well-attended Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions, and a vibrant networking event, Khronos reaffirmed its position at the forefront of standardization for the 3D industry.

The glTF Sample Viewer is an essential part of the glTF ecosystem. Developed by the Khronos 3D Formats Working Group, this open-source JavaScript viewer highlights the latest features of glTF, renders glTF files directly in a web browser, and can be easily integrated into other JavaScript projects using glTF. Working closely with UX3D, a software company specializing in 3D rendering and user interfaces, Khronos has released version 1.1 of the Viewer, offering substantial functionality and usability improvements. In this blog, we’ll explore the new features of the glTF Sample Viewer 1.1 and share insights on how we’ve made it easier to integrate Sample Viewer into web applications.
