Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), that's
Vermul to you...
It's a way to make a 3-D virtual world that others can stroll through. VRML is a
collection of some simple little commands which can be used to build complex scenes.
You'll need a VRML plug-in or control for your browser. They are FREE. You can use either
the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 VRML2.0 control
or the Netscape
4.0 VRML2.0 plug-in. The Cosmo Player
plug-in by Silicon Graphics works with either browser, as does Blaxxun Interactive's Contact. Blaxxun's Contact also
allows multi-user, real time, interactive chat. It is what I use.
