From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Zeynep Ozdemir(Geoffrey C. Fox)

2 The billboard coordinate system is automatically rotated so that the shapes in the group as a unit always turn to face the viewer, even as the viewer moves around the group. This effect is called as billboarding.
