3. Working Groups
The Web3D Consortium maintains mailing lists for general Web3D Issues and specific Working Groups which collaborate openly on developing Web3D Recommended Practices, standards, and technologies.
They are grouped according to their current operating status (Research, Drafting, or Proposal).
Working groups produce pulse checks every six months.
Next are the list of the currently recognized Working Groups.

14. VRML-EAI External Authoring Interface Work Group Info :
The mission of the EAI Working Group to propose a conceptual model for the interface between VRML worlds and an external environment, as well as bindings for the realization of that interface for one or more environments.
Goal
To create a standard interface
between a VRML world and
an external environment.

15. KB Input User Input Work Group Info :
to implement extension nodes to allow VRML World creators to have access to hardware devices which supply data concerning the physical actions of the end user.
Goals
to propose one or more nodes that allow content creators to get access to input devices
to encourage several browser implementers to implement these nodes
to have the VRML Consortium accept the extensions as Recommended Practice
