Foil 9 Current Status of VRMLViewer

From Terrain Rendering and GIS using Java and VRML Rome Lab Quarterly Review for CIV -- June 28 96. by Paul Coddington, Alvin Leung, Krysztof Walczak, Byeongsoeb Ki *
Prototype is operational with some simple terrain and GIS data; overlays can be added, such as clouds, snow, buildings, hyperlinked objects
More tuning can be done, but the current performance is good for VMRL data accessed locally from disk, but too slow over a network (data format is uncompressed ASCII)
VRML is not flexible enough to add extra capabilities - it is not a programming language
