Foil 32 Java 3D and VRML Working Group

From Java Media Framework API's Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Byeongseob Ki, Scott Klasky, Nancy McCracken
Java3D and VRML working group
The goal of this group is to improve interoperability between Java3D and VRML, and to maintain and extend the open source Java3D-based VRML97 browser.
http://www.web3d.org/WorkingGroups/vrml-java3d
The advantage of Java based VRML renderer is that it will run in any browser without a plug-in. The disadvantage is that the renderer is not as fast as the VRML plug-ins such as Cosmoplayer was, unless you have an underlying low-level renderer such as OpenGL.
