H-Anim
The Humanoid Animation (H-Anim) Working Group (www.h-anim.org) was formed in 1997, with the goal of establishing a standard way of representing humanoids, such that they may be interchanged among modeling, authoring, and run-time applications.
The term “humanoid” was adopted to indicate that the standard is broad enough to encompass other human-like creatures or robots.
Version 1.0 of the H-Anim specification was released in 1997. This specification presented a data model for humanoids expressed in the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML).
H-Anim 1.1 was released in 1999.
