Foil 3 Open Inventor and VRML -- Introduction

From Overview of VRML SC95 Tutorial on Web Technologies -- December 4,95. by NPAC Team * See also color IMAGE
Open Inventor is an object-oriented 3D toolkit to create interactive 3D graphics applications.
It is also a high-level object-oriented model for specifying, processing, rendering, archiving and managing complex, hierarchical structures such as encountered in 3D design.
VRML is intended to be a language for describing multi-participant interactive simulations - virtual worlds networked via global Internet and hyperlinked within the World Wide Web.
The first, existing VRML specification is based on the Open Inventor ASCII file format and is a minimal operational subset of Open Inventor extensive class library.
