VRML is a computer graphics language for describing 3-Dimensional scenes. It was developed as a standard for the WWW from OpenInventor of SGI.
|
|
VRML includes language elements for creating simple shapes, various lighting effects, applying textures to shapes, and various points of view (referred to as cameras).
|
|
A VRML enabled browser will recogize VRML files of the form file.wrl, and create an interface where the user has controls to fly through space and examine objects.
|
|
Objects within a VRML scene may be configured as URL links to other Web pages of any document type.
|
|
VRML documents are huge - most serious current drawback to using VRML more widely on the Web is the slow download time.
|
|
New versions of VRML include motion in the scenes.
