(Virtual Reality Modeling Language) A 3-D graphics language used on the
Web. After downloading a VRML page, its contents can be viewed, rotated
and manipulated. Simulated rooms can be "walked into." The VRML viewer
is launched from within the Web browser.
The first VRML viewer was WebSpace from SGI, whose Open Inventor
graphics library was the basis for developing VRML. WebFX, WorldView
and Fountain are other Windows viewers, and Whurlwind and Voyager are
Mac viewers.
