VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language)

  • VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an open, extensible, industry-standard scene description language for 3-D scenes, or worlds, on the Internet.
  • With VRML and Netscape's Plug-ins, you can author and view distributed, interactive 3-D worlds that are rich with text, images, animation, sound, music, and even video.
  • VRML 1.0 supports worlds with relatively simple animations
  • VRML 2.0 supports complex 3-D animations, simulations, and behaviors by allowing Java and JavaScript programmers towrite scripts that act upon VRML objects.

We used Virtus VRML Toolkit and an example is this laboratory
