VRML2.0 Example of Billboard Group
The Billboard is a group node.
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.
This can be used to define an advertisement billboard which always turn to face the viewer.
