The World Wide Web's unexpected emergence and hectic growth have
been one of the phenomena near the turn of the millenium. Barring some disaster, the
future of the Web is very bright indeed. It's no wonder, therefore, that so much creative
talent-and money-is being invested in it. Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML, usually
pronounced vermal) is one of the best ways that 3D artists and animators can take
advantage of the tremendous opportunity presented by the Web's growth.
VRML, as conceived by its creators, is much more than a method of displaying 3D models.
It's conceptual system that might ultimately enable you to navigate the Web as one giant
hypertext document. This is the real potential of "cyberspace." In the
future, web addresses will map to the interiors of personal or corporate 3D spaces within
the context of borderless virtual world. This world continuously will be extended but will
always be coherent and consistently navigable because it is implemented in a common
language-VRML.VRML is used nowadays widely in education, training, entertainment and
business. If you want to find more about the goal and potential of VRML, go to Mark Pesce's site.
