From Master Set of Foils for Two Web Training Presentations DoD Users Group Meeting San Diego -- June 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
VRML has been motivated by virtual environments which may be very important
  • e.g. Build a realistic school in VRML
However one focussed application is to "virtual field-trip" in our K-12 Living SchoolBook where we have a VRML front end to 3D GIS (Geographical Information System).
  • Preset map, image and USGS (TIGER) data and additional material from teachers
Can also use VRML to display results of 3D simulations such as weather predictions
