Synopsis

The Annotated VRML 2.0 Reference Manual is ideal for Web authors and implementers who are interested in creating dynamic, interactive, 3D Web pages and virtual worlds. This is the definitive guide to the VRML 2.0 specification, written by two of its creators. VRML, or Virtual Reality Modeling Language, is a 3D analog to HTML. Both VRML and HTML are easy-to-use multi-platform languages for creating Web pages and virtual worlds. VRML also provides a method of interchanging 3D files, as well as the technology that integrates 3D, 2D, text and multimedia applications.
