Virtual Reality Modelling Language,
originally created by Silicon Graphics to describe three-dimensional
environments on the web. Like html, vrml (pronounced "vur-mal") code
is interpreted by the browser ( or, often, a specialised plug-in) and
turned into a visual scene. the latest version of this 3D technology, called
vrml 97, includes sophisticated features such as animation and sound,
aimed at aiding the creation of immersive environments in which people can
interact and communicate easily. Despite this, few websites use it. The web
is odd enough already, it seems without subjecting people to ever more
warped views of it. |
