| The current version of VRML specification - 1.0 is a minimal starting point for a much larger concept. |
| The specification is based on Open Inventor ASCII file format. |
| VRML 1.0 is a subset of Open Inventor with some additions that allow linking the objects with another VRML or HTML sites on the Web. The linking concept is similar to HREF in HTML. |
| VRML 1.0 provides only mechanisms for synthetic 3D "clickable worlds" and does not specify yet any constructs for object animation, behavior and interaction. These issues are currently under intense discussion by the VRML forum and will be included in version 2.0 of the language. |
