Virtual reality modelling language (VRML)

A three-dimensional graphics language that produces a hyperspace "world" (*.wrl) on the Internet. After downloading a VRML webpage, its content can be viewed, rotated, and manipulated with simulations launched from within a VRML enabled 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. VRML, pronounced "ver-mal", is also known as "Virtual Reality Markup Language". See language, graphics.
