HELP! * GREY=local LOCAL HTML version of Foils prepared 24 March 1996 Foil 12 Possible Uses of VRML in Education
From Web Technologies for Education Master Presentation Workshop on Education and Training Technology -- NIST -- 25 March 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color GIF
- 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
