Abstract

The purpose of this study is to experience creating 3D virtual scenes in World Wide Web using Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), to explore the status of VRML development, and to research the applicability and potential of VRML. This thesis introduces the VRML language basics, reviews VRML development and supporting tools, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of VRML and its future. VRML allows the users to control the interactions between the user and a 3D graphic model. It can be used in applications such as recreating a historical site or constructing chemistry molecules. However a lack of wide spread efficient business use of VRML has slowed its development. At the present stage, more sophisticated authoring tools along with high-speed computer and high-speed network resources are needed before VRML will become more widely used on the Internet.
