Scripting and EAI in VRML97

Given by Hasan Ozdemir (Geoffrey C. Fox) at CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS on Spring Semester 98. Foils prepared March 18 1998

Script Nodes essentially give logic and state management to a VRML world.
We describe Java and JavaScript Scripting of nodes internal to a VRML world
Then we discuss the External Authoring Interface EAI allowing outside programs to interact with a VRML application on client side
Examples including Multi-User Worlds are given
