    abstract     = "The aim of this report is to describe the design and implementation of a system named  {''}3D-Console{''} . The ultimate goal for {3D-}Console was to provide a {3-D} user interface framework, which enabled users to work more effciently. The user interface has been integrated into a proper {3-D} environment. This report also discusses the rationale for such asystem, as well as how to optimize interaction through hardware devices and graphical effects. 

 {3D-}Console also gives interested developers and designers a {3-D} environment, an X3D compatible framework and an client {API,} which can be used for authoring applications with {3-D} user interfaces. 

The new idea is the combination of two technologies: independent applications and a {3-D} environment.

 {3D-}Console builds heavily on the new {3-D} graphics standard, X3D."
