VRML
VRML provides
three-dimensional worlds with integrated hyperlinks on the Web. Home pages become home spaces. The viewing of VRML models via a VRML plug-in for Web browsers is usually done on a
graphics monitor under mouse-control and,
therefore, not fully immersive. However, the syntax and
data structure of VRML provide an excellent tool for the modeling of three-dimensional worlds that are
functional and interactive and that
can, ultimately, be transferred into fully immersive viewing systems. The current version VRML 2.0 has become an international ISO/IEC standard under the name VRML 97.
