VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a modeling language used
to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It's mainly designed
to be used on the Internet, because VRML files are small compared to other
3D environments, therefore fast to download and render. VRML applications
range from scientific areas, such as chemistry (e.g., the visualisation
of molecules), architecture and engineering to educational examples and
entertainment.
You need a VRML browser plugin to view VRML worlds. I liked CosmoPlayerTR best but unfortunately it's no longer supported. It works with Win95/98/NT. Or try Blaxxun Contact TR for Win2000/ME/XP. Another popular VRML Browser is CortonaTR.
To move around in a VRML world, place the mouse cursor anywhere in
the background, hold down left mousekey and drag.
NOTE: These files have been tested with Cosmo PlayerTR and Blaxxun Contact 4.04TR. They ought to work with other VRML-PlugIns (such as WorldViewTR, CortonaTR etc.) as well, though some might look a bit weird. In case you have a blaxxun plug-in (e.g. blaxxun Contact 4.0TR), please click on the links "blaxxun-version".
