From Televirtual Environments -- Technologies and Application SC95 Tutorial on Web Technologies -- December 4,95. by NPAC Team * See also color IMAGE
Decisions currently being made by this mix of Internet hackers and Cyberspace visioners will likely have major impact on your children's education
Good news is that this team seems to be making "right" decisions
The first public appearance of this forum was made in August '95 -- VRML forum published minutes of their brainstorming meeting and a set of proposals towards VRML 1.x or/and VRML 2.0.
Marc Pesce's "visionary" white letter proposes a transparent API for interactivity ---
  • it should be enabled in VRML 2.0 but without specifying implementation to leave the door open to experimentation and innovation.
  • Java is mentioned as one of the promising implementation platforms.
Two specific technical proposals towards VRML 2.0 are by
  • Tom Meyer (Brown Univ.) which exposes Java as simulation engine
  • and by Mitra (Worlds, Inc) which presents multi-language strategy.
