VRML
VRML, short for Virtual Reality Modeling Language, is an open, platform-independent file format for 3-D graphics on the Web. It encodes computer-generated graphics in a way that makes them easily transported across the network. VRML requires a special web browser to display these graphics, which simulate virtual reality 3-D "environments" or "worlds" through which the user can move and interact with objects. These 3-D worlds can contain objects that link to documents, other objects, or other 3-D worlds.
