VRML allows user annotated 3D visualizations so that you can explain features of results of simulation in a universal fashion which can be viewed on any machine
-
e.g. click on "cloud" and get informations on humidity, fluid velocity etc. (this could be generated automatically)
-
Experts can add insight as to why things are what they are!

VRML is Very good GIS (Geographical Information System) technology and can be used by NASA/EPA etc for presentation of spatial data with again clickable annotations
|
VRML is currently and perhaps intrinsically (numbers ascii) inefficient and Java is alternative / augmentation technology
-
We use Java client/server agents to generate VRML on the fly

VRML 2.0 will allow projects like Argonne Labspace to produce collaborative televirtual environments
