Web3D 2025 is sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH
The ACM SIGGRAPH community is a global nonprofit organization serving the evolution of computer graphics and interactive techniques. With thousands of members across the world, the researchers, artists, developers, filmmakers, scientists, and business professionals of ACM SIGGRAPH are building the future of digital art and interactive design.
Anita Havele has over 15 years of experience in computer graphics and a strong background in technical marketing of open standards in 2D/3D graphics. She has developed strategic roadmaps to build and deliver next-generation new media 3D successfully and has extensive experience in developing and managing programs for promotion and adoption of standards.
- Currently the executive director of the Web3D Consortium implementing strategic plans for the global growth and adoption of the Consortium’s standards and open 3D technologies.
- Responsible to the Board of Directors for executing the duties and responsibilities to accomplish Consortium’s goals and objectives. Offering technical and business support to Consortium members while developing outreach programs that include Conferences, Tech-Talks, Panel session, Dev Camps, Contests, Tutorials, and Hackathons.
- Coordinates and works with other standards organizations such as W3C, IEEE, HL7, OGC, DICOM, ISO, and Khronos developing strategic partnerships to converge Web3D standards.
- Before joining the Web3D Consortium her standards work extended to the automotive industry as part of a leading group at GM/EDS standardizing the design engineering processes. The nonconformance and revenue loss at GM lead to her strong support of open standards for the advancement of emerging technologies. After leaving EDS she continued her involvement in standards, developing methodologies and standards procedures in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for the automotive design analysis industry.
- She is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer Society, and the Web3D Consortium. She holds a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Marquette University, USA.
In co-operation with Web3D Consortium
The Web3D Consortium is an international, non-profit, industry Standards Development Organization (SDO), developing the ISO standard X3D, a framework and ecosystem for describing, composing, simulating and constructing interactive 3D scenes. Through its annual global Web3D Conference, the Web3D consortium brings together experts from around the world, promoting the exchange of latest research, industry development, and best practices related to 3D technologies.
