[Openvrml-develop] Using OpenVrml for a simulation

[<luc...@li...>]

I'm working on a simulation for my university and since we have already 
developed many Vrml models i would like to use OpenVrml as the main 
support library for this work.
In order to do so i have to solve the following issues:

1) Parse the scene graph to find geometry nodes toghether with their 
attributes to perform some basic collision detection.
2) Modify a node attributes and eventually adding and deleting 
dynamically nodes from the world so to "animate" avatars in the world.
3) Modify the parser structure ( and the library ) so to support more 
attributes ( to describe other properties of the object that are not 
related to visual appearance ( i.e. velocity and acceleration ) but 
that are important for my simulation )

Is there anyone that can give me some suggestion ?
Any kind of feedback would be very appreciated.
Also, since i am going to work on this project for at least 3 months 
full-time i can try, if given enough support, to write the beginning of 
an openvrml developer documentation.

Thanks in advance
